Epibatidine is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America that is not found naturally in #Russia, they said.

The countries said in a joint statement that “Russia had the means, motive & opportunity to administer this poison.” They said they were reporting Russia to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons [#OPCW] for a breach of the #ChemicalWeapons Convention.

#Poland police arrested three #Ukraine citizens (aged 39–43) in the center of Warsaw who were traveling in a car equipped with:

  • advanced hacking equipment,
  • a spy device detector,
  • SIM cards, routers, FLIPPER, antennas,
  • laptops, cameras, and portable drives.

The seized devices could have been used to breach security and interfere with strategic IT systems. That resembles a bit the arrest of #GRU officers in #Netherlands in 2018 while they tried to hack #OPCW corporate network. This of course could be regular cyber criminals or pentesters, but I’d say these days this kind of jobs would display certain lack of self-preservation instinct in each case.

P.S. “Ukraine citizens” is essentially holder of passport of Ukraine, doesn’t tell you anything of nationality or political affiliation.
