Russian propagandist detained in Montenegro with drones and equipment

Montenegrin authorities detained Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the Russian propaganda network Rybar, and found drones, electronic devices, modern digital equipment and phones in his possession. The case is drawing attention because Rybar is one of the most prominent pro-Kremlin information operations, and Zvinchuk's detention in a NATO member state raises questions about what he was doing there and possible espionage links.
Why now: A high-profile Russian propaganda operative has been detained in a NATO country with surveillance-style equipment, fuelling speculation about spying and influence operations.
