Correspondent focusing on Central and Eastern Europe for The Guardian [email protected]
@shaunwalker7.bsky.socialLike many, I've been fascinated and confused by the mystery of Havana Syndrome for years.
Reported this long piece on the history and recent developments, talking to victims/sufferers, intel sources, scientists, and the authors of an upcoming book
@shaunwalker7.bsky.socialI spoke to former Pussy Riot activist Rita Flores, who recently admitted she had been forced to collaborate with the FSB for the past three years, on her life as an informant, how the FSB runs agents, and the sad state of the wartime Moscow art scene.
@shaunwalker7.bsky.socialMy longread about the case of Igor Rogov, Russian opposition activist arrested in Poland as an FSB spy.
It's a crazy story full of twists that reveals a lot about espionage, exile, the shadow Russia/Ukraine war and the long arm of the FSB...
@shaunwalker7.bsky.socialI've been working on this for ages in various countries: the story of the intelligence buildup to Putin's 2022 invasion. How did the US and Britain find out so much, and why were Europe and Ukraine sceptical.
It's a long one:
@shaunwalker7.bsky.socialFirst Bluesky post...
Spent some time, with @pjotrsauer.bsky.social speaking to people in Kyiv, Moscow and Washington about Trump's plans for peace and how "negotiations" might look: www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...
