>Ukraine staged the death of a high-ranked Russian fighting on Kyiv’s side to prevent him being killed on Moscow’s orders and lure out those involved in the plot, Ukrainian military intelligence announced on Thursday.>The GUR military intelligence unit said the ruse even netted the $500,000 Russian reward for the “killing” of Denis Kapustin – also known as Denis Nikitin – leader of the Russian Volunteer Corps, which had announced on Saturday that Kapustin was killed on the frontline.>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/02/ukraine-war-briefing-kyivs-gur-faked-russian-ordered-killing-and-bagged-500k-kremlin-reward

Kapustin and being alive linked up!
>>64707477Is that 500k rubles or 500k in a hard currency? The answer will make a big difference to how I perceive the success of the operation
>>64707564$500k in crypto payment.
>>64707564$
>>64707513Nope, that's a perfectly legal ruse.
>>64707477It's not deception. It's, as ziggers like to say, "hohol necromancy". That's right. Ukrainians have unlocked the dark arts of necromancy. Soon, the many dead ziggers on the battlefield will rise from the dead and shamble towards their ex comrades.
>>64707575And just like that, manpower issues are solved in a perfectly eco-friendly, recylcleable way.
>>64707477I wish I could see a version of WW2 where the internet existed and any power could talk to everyone on the other side and offer them bribes in crypto. Or like this article, catfish the people offering the bounties. Or troll the people catfishing, ad infinitum. I've seen a dozen stories of this kind of tomfoolery out of this war but I feel like not even 1% of the surface of possible shenanigans has been scratched.
>>64707513This. Theft/fraud is against the law even in times of war. Should the money already have been spent, I'm sure Russia would be satisfied with the purchases being delivered to them instead, preferably same-day as an apology.
>>64707575So THAT's why the Ukrainian body exchanges have been so lopsided.
I swear this has happened before. Someone in this war also "died" only to resurface later in an attempt to evade assassins. Is my memory playing tricks on me?
>>64707575Holo Scholomance...
>>64707650Hololomance
>>64707477Got scammed Indian style
>>64707564Who needs rubles outside of Russia?

>>64707477Dennis Kapustin is an actual Neo-Nazi who brutalized minorities and advocated for ethnostates while living in Germany. We really shouldn't support someone like him.
>>64707762Who is ''we'' Sir?
>>64707762Sounds based. Ita funny that the pro-russian Rusich led by a puppy torturing psycho is litwrally buck broken by chechens and had to bend over for Kaydrovs blocking detachments like common conscripts for badmouthing them on telegram.
>>64707842Kapustin has been involved with Azov since basically the inception and helped create the third assault brigade. He is a very interesting dude
>>64707842Pro-Ukraine Nazi>Defends Europe from the judeo-bolshevik horde just like WWII>Stomped Turks while living in Berlin>Ran a successful business Pro Russian """""Nazis"""""">Tortured puppies>Kadyrov's bitch
