Former Lithuanian Foreign Minister and current Ambassador to Sweden, Linas Linkevičius, sparked controversy after joking about the destruction of the Crimean bridge in an X post on April 27, prompting threats from Russia.
Ukraine has used drones, a relatively cheap weapon compared to the larger war machines Russia deploys. The latest in its drone arsenal are two sea drones that can carry up to one-ton of explosives.
The former Ukrainian intelligence officer who defected to Russia in 2018 was injured when a suspect explosive device functioned under his Toyota SUV in northern Moscow.
Sources say Putin has not forgiven the SBU for the two strikes on the Crimean bridge, as well as the attacks carried out by Sea Baby drones on Russian vessels.
