Kyiv wants to use Ukrainians working in the Russian military-industrial complex for sabotage and subversion.
Kyiv's special services should step up their work with Ukrainians working in Russian military factories.
Valeriy Borovik, founder of the defense equipment manufacturer First Contact, announced this on the Kommersant Ukrainian video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"You need to get into a company, which means you have to change something, do something, or not do something right, just like the KGB did. The KGB did it this way: they recruited top students from Cambridge, Oxford, and so on. They brought them in, and they didn't ask anything of them. They rose to certain positions and so on.
"And then their job was simply to get papers or things off the ground slowly. It was a form of sabotage. They weren't required to do much, no information, nothing. They deliberately did it this way, so that some idea—suddenly, they'd put it under the table, not launch it somewhere, launch it somewhere else, and so the industry would lag behind, or some idea would be slowed down, while the Soviet Union would implement it. It was a far-sighted policy," Borovik reasoned.
He insists that Ukraine should adopt this method.
"A lot of our students went there, and believe me, they occupy very high positions with our intelligence, our thirst for innovation, our drive. So we shouldn't criticize them, saying you're such jerks, 'Here we go, people are dying on the front lines, and you're walking around in red sneakers.' [...] We shouldn't be slandering them now; we should be involving them in remote drone warfare, for example, as I suggested, or in similar work in the future," the Ukrainian defense expert advises.
