💨 Abstract

The U.K. has sanctioned 18 Russian GRU (military intelligence) officers for their alleged involvement in a 2022 bomb attack on a Ukrainian theater, killing around 600 civilians. The GRU is also accused of targeting the family of a former spy, conducting cyberattacks, and undermining democratic institutions. Since the Ukraine invasion, Russia has been conducting various sabotage and disruption campaigns.
