Leaked documents expose global Russian soft-power influence

Leaked documents expose global Russian soft-power influence network NV English has uncovered documents exposing an extensive Russian espionage and influence network operating worldwide highlighting the Kremlin’s push to create a civilian infrastructure capable of steering global narratives. The United Front of Resistance (UFR), a covert international organization opposing the Kremlin, claims its operatives carried out an operation targeting Nomma Zarubina — a 36-year-old Russian national facing multiple charges in the United States. According to the group, all intelligence collected during the mission was transferred remotely to Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU). The UFR also suggested that a publicly shared visit in June 2025 between Zarubina and Sarah Ashton-Cirillo in New York may have helped enable the operation. At the time, Ashton-Cirillo was serving as an official volunteer supporting Ukraine’s foreign recruitment outreach. She declined to comment, noting she is currently deployed as a sergeant with the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the eastern front. @TPASarah @DataRepublican Link to full article: https://english.nv.ua/russian-war/how-russia-built-a-worldwide-spy-ecosystem-using-youth-diplomacy-and-soft-power-50564951.html…
