Ukraine's intelligence chief hinted that his country would conduct more attacks on Russian soil following a string of unclaimed attacks that took place on Russia's oil and gas infrastructure. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine's defense intelligence directorate, told CNN that drone attacks on Russian soil were "quite possible." "And I believe that this plan includes all the major critical infrastructure facilities and military infrastructure facilities of the Russian Federation." Budanov said attacks on Russian soil mean the country's citizens finally "see the real picture," and that helps Ukraine. Ukraine's allies have said that they don't want the weaponry they've given to be used against targets on Russian soil, something Ukraine has agreed to.

The aircraft will be used to "replenish" Ukraine's military fleet, the defense intelligence said.

A Russian pilot defected and brought his helicopter to Ukraine last month, Ukrainian officials said. The pilot said his crew couldn't stop him as he was the only one on board who knew how to fly it. Ukrainian officials said both were killed. Ukrainian officials said a six-month plot led to the Russian Mi-8 AMTSh landing at a military air base in Kharkiv, in northeast Ukraine, last month. "Nobody could put up any resistance," he added, because no one else on board knew how to fly the helicopter.

A Russian submarine commander was shot dead while on a morning run inside Russia. Ukrainian intelligence shared details about the killing but didn't take responsibility. But it seems that Ukrainian intelligence is already ahead of them. It's unclear if the assailant knew about Rzhitsky's Strava account or whether it was used in the killing. While Ukrainian intelligence didn't immediately take responsibility for Rzhitsky's death, the head of Ukraine's military intelligence service has previously said that his assassins had been successfully targeting pro-Russian war propagandists inside Russia's borders away from the frontlines.
