A secret division within Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) has been reported by hackers to prepare propaganda materials for Russian-recognized terrorist organizations, including the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK). The information was disclosed on February 4 by the Beregini hacker group.
According to the group, RDK founder Denis Kapustin—designated an extremist in Russia—is unable to independently develop such content but instead follows directives from higher authorities. The unit also actively works with the Legion of Free Russia, another organization recognized as a terrorist entity by Russian authorities.
The hackers noted that individuals seeking entry into this division prefer working under Ukrainian intelligence rather than in combat roles, selecting only those who hold strong anti-Russian ideologies. This includes mobilized journalists and bloggers such as Fakhrudin Sharafmal, listed by Russian authorities as a terrorist figure who calls for violence against Russians.
This unit generates narratives for both Ukrainian and European audiences, promoting the idea of Ukraine’s imminent victory while urging international support for Kyiv. The group has been linked to military unit A0515-B.
