Trump-employee gratefully victim of Russian security service
While living in Russia, there was one thing you always had to be happy with – your phone.
I stopped early on to wireless networks. There was no guarantee that anyone could not get into the mobile, since I was constantly using Russian MTS’s mobile networks. The Russian security service FSB systematically intercepts foreign correspondents, and so did their representative KGB.
One of mine Old colleagues at Yle managed to get back the family’s lost cat in the 1980s by calling at home in the kitchen: “Tovarisjtj MajorPlease return the cat! ” A few hours later, a subordinate to the Major knocked on the door with the cat in his arms.
My colleague has not found this story – it is true. Even if you do not need any anecdotes to understand that Soviet and then the Russian security service is trying to have maximum control over correspondents and diplomats.
Shortly before the full -scale attack against Ukraine, the young civilian -clad men began with something new: ask if they could not look at one’s phone.
During my last years in Russia, I was several times about FSB interrogation on the border between Finland and Russia. Shortly before the full -scale attack against Ukraine, the young civilian -clad men began with something new: ask if they could not look at one’s phone.
The first time It happened in December 2021, a few months before the war broke out. A FSB employee asked me for a number that was on my phone. Afterwards I realized that it was about the phone’s IMEI number and that he wanted it to be able to track the mobile.
I was so tired and annoyed after over an hour of interrogation, with a friend’s family and three children waited in the car outside, that I gave him the number. Almost immediately I realized it was a mistake. The phone was discarded immediately.
The following time an FSB agent asked the same innocent question I was prepared and refused blankly. He accepted. This is just one example of having to know in advance how FSB acts in order not to go into their trap. Their method is to be pleasant, tired of the victim with hour -long boring interrogations and then take them with surprise, so that the counterpart does as they please without having to understand it. Until it’s too late.
Putin exercises with great success this method of Trump and his co -workers.
Putin practices With great success this method of Trump and his co -workers. The Russian president is peculiar and accommodating, just and then draws out all discussions in endless. Phase three – to have the rat trap merge – we have not seen yet. But on the other hand, we know that Trump’s broadcast Steve Witkoff was added to a chat group on signal discussing the US military attack on Yemen while Witkoff himself was in Moscow. If he had his phone with him – that thing has not yet arrived – FSB has been able to collect all the information easily as a plaque.
Well -informed high envoys do not go to Moscow with its mobile phones. The problem with regard to Trump and his co -workers is that they are neither well informed nor listen to their own intelligence authorities.
Well -informed high envoys do not go to Moscow with its mobile phones.
In Ukrainian Social media is most closely similar to a flat laugh.
-The Trump team surprised positively. They used signal instead of telegrams (which is originally a Russian platform). They added an American journalist in the chat, instead of Lavrov, Sergei Fursa writes on Facebook.
He is Ukrainian social debater and one of the country’s leading investment experts.
In Russia, the Kremltrogen Media reports on the American fad, so far in neutral tone without making any larger issue of it. It is not in Russia’s interest to hang the Americans for their negligence. The more careless the American leadership is, the easier for Russia to spy.
Possibly the management in the Kremlin is so amazed that they do not know what to say. Or, the chronically suspicious Putin believes this is part of Trump’s plan.
The management of the world’s most powerful country can not possibly consist of such amateurs.
