Defence Intelligence: Russian intelligence services are searching for agents in Canada

Share this article

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports that the Russian FSB in Canada is attempting to find foreigners who maintain contact with intelligence agencies of various countries worldwide and recruit them to serve Moscow.

The search for double agents is taking place among immigrants from Russia and other countries who have been part of or influenced by the Soviet Union.

The Kremlin's intelligence services promote their calls through Russian-language mass media outlets in Canada.

For example, in March 2024, the FSB distributed a corresponding appeal in the form of a leaflet attached to the printed publication "Nasha Kanada" (Our Canada) - a newspaper distributed for free in European goods stores, Russian restaurants, metro stations, certain schools, hospitals, and residential complexes in the city of Toronto.

Interestingly, the publication presents itself as pro-democratic and anti-Putin, which, however, may be merely a cover and a way to divert attention from local security structures.
