The Russian court's order of one of Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu's deputies Timur Ivanov to be kept in custody is the result of the secret operation of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Chief Intelligence Directorate.
According to information provided to RBC-Ukraine by a source in intelligence services, a cyberattack was carried out by the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense in March 2024, SIA reports.
In March, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence (НUR) gained access to a huge amount of confidential information – including many of Ivanov’s own documents.
“In fact, he [Timur Ivanov] is a Russian patriot set up by Ukrainian intelligence, and the Kremlin elders took the bait,” according to the Kyiv Post source.
Moscow was well aware of Timur Ivanov’s bribery, but it did not become a reason to bring him to justice. However, the huge leak of classified information and the publicity garnered by the Ukrainian operation ended Ivanov’s tenor as the second man in the Defense Ministry after Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the source said.
