The detention and arrest of Deputy Defense Minister Shoigu Timur Ivanov was made possible by the work of the active action unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. This was reported to UNN by a source.
Details
According to a source of UNN, in March 2024, the active action unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine conducted a cyberattack, gaining access to confidential information and official documents of the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Timur Ivanov.
According to the Russian media, the real reason for Ivanov's arrest is high treason, and the bribery charge is just a cover for a more serious charge.
The source noted that this particular incident played against him, as it leaked confidential information.
