Putin humiliated as Ukraine publishes list of 600 Russian spies - 'DB9's and 007' exposed

Putin humiliated as Ukraine publishes list of 600 Russian spies - 'DB9's and 007' exposed

VLADIMIR PUTIN has been left humiliated as Ukraine has published a list of 620 Russian agents, which if verified, will expose the heart of the Kremlin's secretive operations and spy network.
By James Lee


With the invasion of Ukraine now entering its fourth week, Putin has suffered a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of Ukrainian resistance, as well as signs of discontent from within. Such is the paranoia surrounding Putin, multiple Russian FSB spies have been placed under house arrest through fear of a coup against him. The move appeared to be a reprisal for detailed plans of Russia’s invasion being obtained and disclosed by Western intelligence agencies.

The list revealed by Ukrainian sources details passport information, phones numbers as well as personal habits, including driving and drinking patterns.

According to the leaked information, one agent has a Skype address that includes “jamesbond007” and another has the characters “DB9” in reference to the fictional MI6 officers' much-coveted Aston Martin.

Another agent is reported to be obsessed with premium cars, whilst another is a heavy drinker who “systematically violates traffic regulations.”

Officials in Ukraine have accused the agents of being involved in criminal activities across Europe.

Imagine the intelligence operations one might be able to reconstruct with this list. At least, that’s my first thought.

That means I'm still alive.

Can't forget the shot in "Casino" where Sam/"Ace" is nearly blown up to the tune of Bach's Saint Matthew Passion of all things.

I am sure that Putin is looking behind his back constantly these says, and in the mirror, too!!

stuff/secrets/etc., and basically, being a horse's a&& in the world community? putin is still stuck in his cold war mentality and is bound and determined to do harm to everybody else, despite the fact that there is no war, there is no animosity w/ the West (witness the significant trade relations we had w/ them, witness the YouTube videos on numerous Russian citizens going about their daily business, very informative and interesting to watch, especially those w/ the Siberian Express as it traveled across the Russian Steppes.

Perhaps it's a wish of mine, but I hope that something breaks and calmer heads, calmer leaders emerge in Russia (and hopefully they won't get murdered), instead of putin. The world and Russia need a break. A decent break.

Spies sent home, instantly unemployable, or worse.

Questions about how the data was obtained, who leaked it, and whether the leak itself damages Western intelligence.

How many might be double agents; some data backflow may have been occurring in some instances...
