🇬🇧 A “GRU agent” has been found in Britain. And at the same time, an organization that no one had heard of a month ago

The 31-year-old Briton Joshua Kemmidge was arrested in Swindon. He was charged with assisting a foreign intelligence service and preparing acts of sabotage. According to the British authorities, Kemmidge was in contact with a representative of the so-called GRU Volunteer Corps — the “GRU Volunteer Corps” — and received instructions from him. What exactly he allegedly intended to blow up or damage has not yet been publicly disclosed; Kemmidge is due to appear in court today.

The most interesting thing is the organization’s name. It was only on July 13 that the British government announced that it would add the GRU Volunteer Corps to a new list of structures linked to foreign states, and on July 17 it was officially added to the list alongside Iran’s IRGC and the Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right. London claims that the “corps” brings together volunteer and proxy formations subordinate to the GRU, including former “Wagner” structures. Now, less than two months after the name appeared in British legislation, the first prominent accused person connected with it has also emerged.

What exactly Kemmidge was preparing is still unknown. But the British authorities had already invented the name of the organization for which he allegedly worked in advance.
