A major Russian attack on energy infrastructure in Ukraine has left 200,000 people without power - and completely destroyed a plant outside Kyiv.
Russia's Federal Security Service has claimed the UK's Special Boat Service is operating in Ukraine and helping Ukrainian forces carry out attempted operations against Russian troops.The FSB, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said it had foiled a plan by British special forces to land Ukrainian sabotage soldiers on the Tendrov Split, a sandbar in the Black Sea.
It said it captured a senior Ukrainian naval special forces soldier, and that the Ukrainian special forces unit was 'supervised by a unit of the Special Boat Service which indicates the direct involvement of Britain in the conflict'.The SBS is a special forces regiment of the British navy that traces its history to the early days of World War Two.
