‘Silent Enemy', ‘Dangerous Adversary': What Russia's Spy Files Reveal About Its Best Friend China
Moscow, New York, New Delhi: While Vladimir Putin sings praises of an 'unbreakable friendship' with China, a leaked internal document from Russia's top security agency paints a very different picture – one that could shatter illusions of brotherhood between the two authoritarian giants. In the damning eight-page report leaked from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), Beijing is labelled not as a partner, but as a 'dangerous adversary' silently undermining Moscow from within. According to the classified files accessed by The New York Times, the FSB has sounded alarm bells over China's growing espionage operations. The document accuses the country of covertly recruiting Russian agents, targeting disillusioned scientists, stealing sensitive military technologies and snooping on Russian Arctic expeditions – right under Moscow's nose. The timing of the leak could not be more dramatic. As Putin wages war in Ukraine and leans on China to survive Western sanctions, these revelations hit like a geopolitical thunderclap. The FSB report warns that Chinese operatives are using mining companies and academic partnerships as cover to gather intelligence and assert long-term claims on Russian territory, especially in the Arctic – a resource-rich zone Moscow considers its strategic jewel. Even more shocking, the document alleges that China has been spying on Russian troop movements in Ukraine to extract battlefield data to study Western weapon systems in action. Secret Spy File Leaked by Hackers Lacking a date, the FSB document is believed to have been drafted in late 2023 or early 2024. It was leaked by a hacking group known as Ares Leaks and later verified by The New York Times after consulting six Western intelligence agencies – all of whom confirmed its authenticity. While Moscow has stayed publicly mum, the leak is one of the strongest indicators that show that the trust between Russia and China may be a facade. The report outlines clear counter-espionage priorities aimed at stopping Chinese infiltration. It signals deep-rooted mistrust behind the scenes. Friends with Benefits? China and Russia have portrayed a united front. Since the Ukraine invasion, Beijing has bought up discounted Russian oil and gas, propped up Moscow's collapsing tech supply chains with chips and software and filled the vacuum left by fleeing Western companies. The two nations have even discussed joint moon bases and co-producing films. But the FSB's own assessment makes it clear that the so-called 'friendship without limits' may in fact be a marriage of convenience and an increasingly toxic one at that. As China continues to rise and Russia bleeds in Ukraine, Putin's trust in Xi might soon cost him more than just military secrets. It could unravel one of the world's most strategically fragile alliances. Russia and China may smile in public but in the shadows, the knives are already out.

Freedom Flotilla Coalition says aid vessel approaching Gaza-bound ship left
A vessel that was approaching Freedom Flotilla Coalition's Gaza-bound charity ship the Madleen has left, the coalition said early on Monday (June 9, 2025), after an alarm was sounded on the ship warning of a possible interception. Hours earlier, the Israeli Defence Minister Israeli Katz said he told the military to stop the boat carrying activists including Sweden's Greta Thunberg and a symbolic quantity of aid, including rice and baby formula, to Gaza in defiance of an Israeli blockade. The coalition posted on its Telegram account a voice memo of Thiago Avila, one of the activists onboard, saying 'we have been surrounded by many lights all at once; they were circling our boat but in the end they kept going their own way.' Operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the British-flagged Madleen boat is currently off the Egyptian coast, heading slowly towards the Gaza Strip, which is besieged by Israel. On Sunday (June 8, 2025) Israel ordered its military to stop the humanitarian ship carrying activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, breaking the blockade of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. 'I have instructed the military to prevent the Madleen flotilla from reaching Gaza,' Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement. 'Turn back because you will not reach Gaza,' Mr Katz added, calling the activists 'Hamas propaganda mouthpieces'. The Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, left Italy on June 1 with the aim of delivering aid and challenging the Israeli blockade, which has been in place for years even before the Israel-Hamas war since October 2023. Organisers said Saturday (June 7, 2025) the vessel had entered Egyptian waters and was nearing Gaza, where the war has entered its 21st month. 'We are not armed. There is only humanitarian aid,' European Parliament member Rima Hassan told AFP from the boat, vowing to 'stay mobilised until the last minute'. The coalition said in a statement on X it expected 'interception and an attack from Israel at any moment', calling for protection from the governments of those on board, who are nationals of Germany, France, Brazil, Turkiye, Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands. Mr Katz said that 'Israel will not allow anyone to break the naval blockade of Gaza, which is aimed at preventing weapons from reaching Hamas — a murderous terrorist group holding our hostages and committing war crimes.' 'Risked their lives' for food Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal and witnesses said the civilians had been heading to a site west of Rafah, in southern Gaza, run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The GHF has come under criticism from humanitarian agencies and the United Nations refuses to work with it, citing concerns over its practices and neutrality. Witness Abdallah Nour al-Din told AFP that 'people started gathering in the Al-Alam area of Rafah' in the early morning. 'After about an hour and a half, hundreds moved toward the site and the army opened fire,' he said. The Israeli military said it fired on people who 'continued advancing in a way that endangered the soldiers' despite warnings. The GHF said in a statement there had been no incidents 'at any of our three sites' on Sunday (June 8, 2025). It said it had distributed more than a million meals, including more than 6,00,000 through a trial of 'direct to community distribution' via 'community leaders'. Outside Nasser Hospital, where the emergency workers brought the casualties, AFPTV footage showed mourners crying over blood-stained body bags. 'I can't see you like this,' said Lin al-Daghma by her father's body. She spoke of the struggle to access food aid after more than two months of a total Israeli blockade of Gaza, despite a recent easing. Dozens of people have been killed near GHF distribution points since late May, according to the civil defence agency. At a charity kitchen in Gaza City, displaced Palestinian Umm Ghassan told AFP she had been unable to collect aid from a GHF site 'because there were so many people, and there was a lot of shooting. I was afraid to go in, but there were people who risked their lives for their children and families'.

Russian intelligence document calls China ‘the enemy', leak exposes Moscow's deep fear
A leaked internal document from Russia's powerful Federal Security Service (FSB) reveals growing distrust toward China, with the agency branding Beijing as 'the enemy' in an eight-page planning document obtained by The New York Times. The document, reportedly authored by a previously undisclosed FSB unit, warns that China poses a serious and expanding threat to Russian national security. China is increasingly trying to recruit Russian scientists and intelligence officers, the document states, adding that Beijing is aggressively targeting 'dissatisfied individuals" with access to sensitive military and technological information. FSB officers claim that Chinese agents are actively monitoring Russian military operations in Ukraine. Their aim, according to the document, is to analyse Western-supplied weapons and learn modern warfare techniques. 'Chinese intelligence conducts espionage in the Arctic using mining companies and university research centers as cover,' the report alleges, raising alarms over Beijing's dual-use civilian infrastructure and scientific engagement. The document also expresses concern that China could be laying groundwork to eventually challenge Russian territorial claims, particularly in sparsely populated and strategically significant regions near their shared border. Strikingly, just three days before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the FSB launched a new counterintelligence program titled Entente-4—a name seen as a pointed irony, given Moscow's public embrace of Beijing. The report notes that with most of Russia's espionage resources focused on Ukraine, the FSB feared China might take advantage of the shift. The timing was likely not accidental. Since 2022, the FSB says it has documented a sharp increase in Chinese efforts to infiltrate Russian institutions. In response, Russian officers were directed to hold face-to-face meetings with Russian citizens cooperating closely with China. They were instructed to eliminate the threat and prevent the transfer of critical information, the document states, adding, Beijing seeks to exploit Russia and gain access to advanced scientific research. The report further reveals a climate of deep mutual suspicion between the two powers. Chinese intelligence reportedly monitors returning operatives using polygraph tests and controls over 20,000 Russian students currently in China. The FSB warns that Chinese agents often seek out Russians married to Chinese citizens for potential recruitment. The goal: to penetrate Russia's state institutions through trusted, vulnerable personal connections. Though Russia and China have publicly declared a 'no limits' partnership, the FSB document reveals a behind-the-scenes intelligence struggle. It describes a 'tense and dynamically developing intelligence battle in the shadows between the two outwardly friendly nations.' While the document is undated, clues suggest, as per the news report, it was likely drafted in late 2023 or early 2024, underscoring the ongoing strain in bilateral ties despite surface-level cooperation.
