On December 27, Ukraine announced the reported death of Denys Kapustin, a Russian dissident fighting alongside Ukrainian forces. Today, Ukrainian officials say he is alive and well.
According to Ukraine’s military intelligence, Moscow had offered $500,000 for his assassination. Ukrainian operatives say they exploited that plot, staged his death, collected the payment, and have now revealed Kapustin was unharmed—redirecting the funds to Ukraine’s war effort.
If confirmed, this is an extraordinary example of Russia’s own corruption being turned against itself.
