Russian spies are refusing to move to occupied parts of Ukraine, FSB insider says Even salaries six or eight times the usual amount cannot entice reluctant agents Some are hiding behind medical certificates signed by compliant doctors Retirees are now being called on, but just three of 200 'said they would consider'
Vladimir Putin's secret services agents are refusing to work in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, an FSB 'insider' has claimed.
Even salaries six to eight times higher than usual are failing to persuade counter-intelligence officers to move to conquered areas, the alleged source said.
Putin urgently needs both regular and military intelligence operatives to enforce his rule in the two 'people's republics' in eastern Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk as well as Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv.
But FSB agents are avoiding the postings, obtaining medical certificates from complaint doctors for themselves or family members, reports Telegram forum 'We Can Explain'.
The lack of loyalty to Putin from the rank and file intelligence operatives mirrors a reluctance from troops to be posted to the war zone, which has resulted in the Kremlin desperately recruiting untrained prisoners and 'Dad's Army' civilians for frontline deployment.
Putin's 'siloviki' secret services chiefs are even trying to woo back retired or fired agents for war zone roles.
But there is little or no interest, an FSB source told the Telegram channel.
They said: 'We called 200 [retired] people and only three said they would think about it.
'This is despite the promises of huge payments and benefits.'
Officers have been offered around £5,000 a month to service in occupied zones, it is claimed.
This is up to eight times their normal pay, and far more than payments to soldiers fighting in the war.

‘Personnel departments are actively calling former employees, even those dismissed on discrediting grounds,’ stated the report.
Some officers report that they are ‘exhausted’ by almost six months of intensive duties with holidays cancelled during the war.
Many are reportedly seeking to quit the service.
The FSB - Russia’s Federal Security Service and successor to the KGB - was once led by Putin.
Its current head is his close ally Alexander Bortnikov.
The report says there had been open dissent in the ranks, with some FSB officers sent to remote postings in eastern Siberia as demonstrative punishments intended to warn others to toe the line.
‘The shortage of personnel in the special service is also confirmed by a draft decree submitted by the FSB itself,’ the forum reported.
‘This will allow the signing of contracts with [recruits] with only secondary education, not higher, as was required before, and with those who do not have experience of military service.’
What is obviously going on, these Roooskie Secret Agent Men are saying NYET to being sent to Vlad’s Ukrainian meat grinder. Where you can get killed or maimed for life. They are sitting out megalomaniac Vlad’s Sh!t Show.
Vlad’s FSB gives a no confidence vote to Vlad the stupid.
Russia continues to advance and will take all of Ukraine east of the Napier rive and the entire Black Sea coastline. Nothing is going to stop that from happening.
But, hey, our corrupt political class and the defense industry is raking in the $$$ so who cares how many more Ukrainians die and how much more of their country is lost. That's all the matters at this point.
When are Americans going to realize Britain is not our friend? That the monarchy is full tits in with the nwo? That they were completely in on destroying Trump? That the CIA and FBI were working with MI6 to f over Trump with this “dossier”. “RUSSIAN” crap?
So Russia is going to run out of bureaucrats and apparatchiks along with tanks troops shells and missiles. Therefore Kiev wins and Putin is dooomed
More BS from dennisw and the Daily Smell.
Reason: short life spans.
Amen!
What is the half-life of an FSB operative in Ukraine? Short. But whatever it is, the FSB boys are not participating. The laugh is that Putin is the patron saint of the FSB. This is Putin’s baby. FSB is one of Putin’s primary constituencies that keeps him in office. Slava Ukraini / ероям слава! and F Vlad!
Wikipedia is great if the subject is non-political.
The Daily FailMail is great if the subject is bodacious tatas, pert bums or the dirt on the Royal Family.
So folks are saying nyet to Putin and living to talk about it? For shame mother russia…..Stalin must be very disappointed…….there were no nyets on Stalins watch!
Seems American patriots need to take notes from the Ukrainians under occupation.
During the Soviet Union days, that would have been an offer they can’t refuse. Today, some will dare to just say No to Putin, and live to tell about it.
The journalism standards of Britain’s Daily Mail have gone beyond yellow. I trust nothing from either side at face value, but The Mail has turned into parody.
The Daily Mail does have some useful US coverage.
if you take this seriously you are genuinely mentally ill
Nobody in Europe is our friend, with the possible exception of Italy.
