A Russian official says American Daniel Martindale has been rewarded with citizenship for spying on Ukraine, "by decree of our President Vladimir Putin."

The reshuffle of Ukraine’s government has been widely seen as a bid to boost relations with Trump. Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko, who was key in striking a mineral deal with the U.S. in May, was appointed as the new Prime Minister on Thursday.

Daniel Martindale helped the Kremlin target Ukrainian troops and was then spirited out of eastern Ukraine by Russian special forces.

A new Ukrainian government approved Thursday will race to expand domestic arms production to meet half the country's weapons needs within six months as it tries to push back Russia's invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Two Russian agents were killed by Ukrainian security forces Sunday following reports that the Russian operatives assassinated Ukrainian Colonel Ivan Voronych.

Ukraine’s Security Service said Sunday they had killed Russian special service agents suspected of gunning down a fellow officer in Kyiv earlier this week, saying it believed Russia’s Federal Security Service was responsible.

Ukraine's Brave1 hopes all of its infantry will eventually carry its new anti-drone rifle rounds, designed to fire from NATO-issued rifles.
