Washington (CNN) — Ucrania reclutó una red de agentes y simpatizantes dentro de Rusia que trabajan para llevar a cabo actos de sabotaje contra objetivos rusos y comenzó a proporcionarles aviones no tripulados para organizar ataques, dijeron a CNN varias personas familiarizadas con la inteligencia de EE.UU. en la materia.Funcionarios estadounidenses creen que estos agentes proucranianos dentro de Rusia llevaron a cabo un ataque con drones dirigido contra el Kremlin a principios de mayo, lanzando drones desde dentro de Rusia en lugar de hacerlos volar desde Ucrania a Moscú.No está claro si otros ataques con aviones no tripulados llevados a cabo en los últimos días —incluido uno dirigido contra un barrio residencial cerca de Moscú y otro contra refinerías de petróleo en el sur de Rusia— también se lanzaron desde dentro de Rusia o fueron realizados por esta red de agentes proucranianos.La guerra de Rusia en Ucrania, minuto a minutoPero las autoridades estadounidenses creen que Ucr...

We’re looking for a striker who can score goals and link up well with the others.”Ancelotti said the club wants the profile of a striker who can team up well with Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, the young Brazilian forwards “who are starting to take a more leading role” in the squad.“At the moment we o...
