Espionage requires refined secrecy, meeting points, and passwords, but the new schedule of Ukrainian courts easily shatters that romance against a bleak domestic surrealism. Here a serviceman nonchalantly registers a Starlink terminal for an FSB handler through the Rivne administrative service center for just 2250 hryvnias, an engineer of a defense giant methodically relays details of tests of the Sapsan missile in anonymous chats, and a caring Dnipro family — together with a mother and brother — turns gathering coordinates for missile strikes into a shared family pastime. More than a hundred and fifty new hearings across the country are not just statistics of abuses, but an outright panopticon of petty cynicism where human lives are traded for small transfers to a card and discounts on a sham divorce.
Also read about cases concerning war crimes, transfer of data to Russian special services, and schemes to evade mobilization. Overall this time the MIPL table lists 162 hearings in 16 regions. Each link in the article leads to the table with all the cases.
