    This information suggests that we have a Cossack, or more than one, within some military or government structure that reads military industry reports, leaking information to Ukraine or the West. They used photos of missile debris as cover, but even this article contains information that isn't written on the missile debris. I have a rough idea and suspect this very wealthy official, who adores comfort, whom many call a brick in the palace of corruption, is very close to the government and the head of state... who they've long been trying to fire for his sins... but who suddenly, unexpectedly, rose through the ranks. There's another suspect, the former First Deputy Prime Minister, now head of VEB, I. Shuvalov, whose billions and palaces are in London, which can be found online... but for some reason, no one seems particularly concerned or alarmed. Do you think MI6, under the threat of billions being confiscated, contacted him, trying to recruit him?
