France exposed a Russian spy related to the poisons of the violinists - Le Monde
Journalists say that the French authorities did not suspect anything when it received a request for a visa from Yulia Schifmanovich. The invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, international sanctions and partial mobilization led to the fact that the flow of forced Russian migrants has increased in Europe. In this regard, the consular services of France did not study all the appeals coming from Russian citizens too carefully.
"And the most dangerous spies, murderers and saboteurs of Vladimir Putin are rarely women. But because because of a country ready for everything for the sake of recovery of the offensive in Ukraine, caution should be in order of things. Consuls have been given the opinions , - said in Le Monde. The final refusal to issue a visa was announced after the recommendation of French secret employees.
According to journalists, law enforcement officers were not mistaken when they considered the identity of Yulia Shifmanovich. Le Monde claims that this Russian is a satellite of Alexander Kulagin, a member of the secret military unit of the GRU of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation responsible for poisoning of former Soviet intelligence officer Sergei Skripal, which was carried out in British Salisbury.
It was on this basis that the saboteurs Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov were served. In addition, Alexander Kulagin, who was repeatedly accompanied by Shypmanovich, is considered one of the suspects in an attempt to make a coup in Montenegro.
"This request for a visa to France against the background of war in Ukraine, in this way, indicates that the secret unit of the GRU did not die and that he will now choose new scouts, women or very young agents to avoid Western observation and European orders on Arrest issued after the Skripal case, " - said in Le Monde.
It is worth noting that at the end of August, the media exposed the Russian scout, who lived in Europe for several years under a fictional name and managed to trust NATO officers. Olga Kolobova's spying has issued herself after buying a ticket from Naples to Moscow for a passport, which was previously issued to other employees of the main intelligence of the Russian Federation.
