Meet Ukraine’s special ops unit wiping out Putin’s war machine from bomber blitz to £3bn bridge… & what they’ll hit next
DEEP behind enemy lines, Ukraine’s special ops unit marked a turning point in modern warfare after drones blitzed Vladimir Putin’s prized bombers beyond repair.
Ukraine’s Security Service – the SBU – is wiping out the Russian tyrant’s war machine with stunning success.
On Sunday, the SBU’s Operation Spiderweb destroyed a third of Putin’s nuclear bomber fleet.
It set a new high point for Ukraine’s spies – showing incredible ingenuity, reach, and coordination inside a hostile country.
The SBU, led by Vasyl Malyuk, carried out the attack and has proved itself to be one of the best agencies in the world.
Over the three years of the war, the SBU has repeatedly assassinated commanders, bombed key sites, and attacked Putin’s beloved bridge in Crimea.
Despite Russia being larger, stronger, and holding the cards at the start of the war – it is Ukraine who has carried out a string of daring sabotage attacks.
Experts told The Sun why they think Ukraine and the SBU has been able to pull off these attacks – and what they could strike next.
Best spies in Europe
Former MI6 intelligence officer Matthew Dunn said Spiderweb showed the SBU were the best spies in Europe.
He said: “Being an intelligence officer, there’s no static, fixed rule book about what one does.”
One question the world has been left asking is how Ukraine managed to get the drones inside Russia.
The bestselling spy novelist and podcast host at SafeHouse Productions said there is no clear answer.
He said: “The commanders involved in this at high level, they would have been very open-minded about how to get these drones into the country.”
Dunn said SBU spies could have smuggled drones over the border on foot, via parachute, or even a raft – whatever was the safest and easiest way.
He said: “The intelligence operation and the officers involved would have been as creative as possible.
“The issue is, the more people you involve… the higher the risk of compromise.
“Sometimes with these kind of things, risky and daring as they can be, sometimes simplicity is the answer.”
Dunne thinks the stunning success of Spiderweb means the SBU will only continue being pragmatic and open-minded.
Dunne said: “The [Spiderweb] punch to Russia is [the SBU] saying, ‘we’re not giving up, and this is our reach. This is what we can do’.”
He said the SBU would choose their victims on a “case by case” basis as it continues to cripple the Russian war machine.
That’s bad news for Putin – who will likely only going to see more goons assassinated, infrastructure attacked, and his beloved Crimea bridge bombed.
And foreign intelligence agencies will be watching and trying to figure out the SBU’s methods.
Russians as spies
Dr Jade McGlynn said the SBU uses civilians to sabotage Russia in the exact same way Vlad does to the West.
The expert in Ukraine’s resistance fighters at King’s College London said she expected apathetic and bribed Russians to have played “at least some role” in Sunday’s attack.
McGlynn believes Ukraine targeted Russians who didn’t care for their country or the invasion and needed a bit of spare cash.
She said: “We keep on seeing this outsourcing, where they’ll [Ukraine’s spies] pay random people, maybe lure them in, they know they [Russian civilians] need a bit of money, and then they’ll try and bomb a shopping center.”
Russian bloggers accused Ukraine’s spies of hiring Russian lorry drivers to get the shipping crates into position next to the air bases.
Lorry drivers reportedly said they received instructions from an “Artem” and had no idea what was in the containers they transported.
Ukraine later released footage of the containers starting their journeys – as drivers took the vehicles to their fateful destinations.
Eyes and ears
On the ground, Putin is also battling to stop partisans, groups of militants, inside Russia who oppose his rule.
He’s fighting against both Ukrainians caught behind the front line and Russians who hate Putin.
McGlynn said it was hard to know exactly how big resistance groups are, how many of them there are, and what exactly they do given the secrecy involved.
But she warned that some are the “eyes and ears” of Ukrainian intelligence in Russia.
McGlynn said: “They’re people who just go around and check coordinates, who send things through encrypted special bots.
“There’s a base here is at this location, or we’re seeing a lot of equipment going here, and then the Ukrainians can use that for drone attacks.
“That’s similar to the way that the French resistance helped with knowing where the German defences were ahead of D-Day – that information targeting [role].”
Other groups, such as the Freedom of Russia Legion, are more militant and fight Russia directly.
This provides the SBU with agents on the ground inside Russia who can carry out attacks, recruit Russians to do their bidding, and provide key information.
Vlad’s ‘doomed bridge’
While Spiderweb was carried out with flying kamikaze drones, the SBU has also pioneered the use of sea drones.
They’ve rendered Vlad’s Black Sea fleet useless after destroying 11 Russian ships – including the flagship Moskva – with the unmanned water vehicles.
Ukraine has also repeatedly bombed Putin’s beloved £3b bridge crossing the Kerch Strait.
The tyrant built the span after he annexed Crimea in 2014 and it is key for linking the peninsular with Russia.
But to Ukraine it represents Putin’s imperialism.
A sabotage attack in October 2022 saw Ukraine cause part of the span to collapse after spies placed a bomb on a truck.
Russia arrested five of its own citizens as well as three others and accused them of organising the attack.
But it’s not just human intelligence the SBU deals with – they have attacked the bridge several other times with sea-based drones.
Known as Sea Baby drones, the water-based vehicles have caused havoc to Russia.
Two Sea Baby’s packed with 850kg of explosives each tore apart a section of the stretch in 2023.
Why have Ukraine spies beat Russians?
Ambassador John Herbst – who was Washington DC’s man in the country between 2003 and 2006 – said Ukraine’s spies had been allowed to innovate.
In Russia, decision-making is centralised and bureaucratic but in Ukraine officers are given more freedom, he said.
Herbst said: “Ukrainian ingenuity has been a regular feature of this war, not to mention the fact that they not only surprised Putin, but they surprised the entire US.
“It’s very clear that the Ukrainians are operating pretty easily and exceptionally, effectively across Russia.”
But Herbst said as much as cultural differences mattered – so did similarities.
One factor benefiting Ukraine is how familiar they are with Russia – having been a member of the Soviet Union.
Their cultural links and shared history meant that Ukrainian spies know how to work inside Russia, deal with Russian civilians, and understand the army.
He said: “This is the flip side of something the entire world has been talking about since Ukraine emerged as an independent country, which is the fact that the Russians have had great success in planting agents in Ukrainian intelligence agencies and co-opting those agencies.
“Parts of the Ukrainian elite were junior partners [in the Soviet elite] which gave Ukrainian great insight, better insight than we have, into how the Soviet Union operated, and how Russia still operates.”
Inside Operation Spiderweb
By James Halpin, Foreign News Reporter
Ukraine’s shock sleeper drone blitz on Russia’s bomber fleet has delivered a hammer blow to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear arsenal.
The SAS-style strike against four airfields deep inside Russia is reminiscent of the most daring raids of the WW2 that turned the tide against the Nazis.
Volodymyr Zelensky oversaw Operation Spiderweb – much like Winston Churchill did as Britain struck deep behind enemy lines.
The Ukrainian said: “It’s genuinely satisfying when something I authorized a year and six months ago comes to fruition and deprives Russians of over forty units of strategic aviation.
“We will continue this work.”
Putin’s doomsday bomber fleet is now crippled with 41, or a third, of his most prized aircraft lying in smouldering wrecks on tarmac.
Ukraine said the sneak attack was worth $7bn (£5.2bn) in damage to Russia – caused by only 117 cheaply made drones.
Like Israel’s mass pager sabotage against Hezbollah, Kyiv has rewritten the rule book in how to strike the heart of their enemy.
Ukraine’s spies spent 18 months putting the plan into action and struck on the eve of fresh peace talks in Istanbul.
Love Island’s Dejon denies being a nepo baby despite famous footballer dad and show legend best mate
ONE of the new Love Island hunks denied being a nepo baby, despite his premier league footballer dad and TV star friend.
Dejon Noel-Williams is one of the latest singles hoping to find love on the ITV reality series and opened up about what he is looking forward to the most.
In a roundtable chat with media, Dejon spoke about his dad, Gifton Noel-Williams, 45, a professional footballer who had played for Stoke City, Watford and Burnley.
The personal trainer and semi-professional footballer in his own right said his dad was proud of his “football journey.”and has already worked with a string of big name sportswear brands.
When asked about what he thought of being labelled a “nepo baby,” a modern term for someone whose success has been on the back of nepotism, Dejon admitted he’d never heard the term.
“Now that I’ve been called a nepo baby, I don’t know how to react,” he said.
The accusations of being a nepo baby were also put to Dejon over his friendship with former Love Islander, Tyrique Hyde.
“I’ve known him since we were kids, like babies,” Dejon said, adding, “my dad and his dad played for the same team and they were best friends.”
“As we got older, we had similar interests. We played for the same teams and we played against each other at football.”
As for his own footballing career, Dejon currently plays for Bedford Town having previously featured for Oxford United, Wealdstone, Guadalajara and the Grenada national team.
“I was the first in my family to represent our family name internationally. I played international football,” Dejon told The Sun.
Recently, Dejon was questioned by police after being accused of stealing a woman’s phone on a night out.
He told The Sun: “I was never arrested.
“I voluntarily spoke to the police to clarify the truth about what happened in this incident, with no further action taken.
“To stress, my intentions here were entirely honourable and it is very upsetting to read claims that suggest otherwise.”
ITV was aware of the incident with Dejon when he secured his place on the show, a spokesman confirmed.
This year’s series has already seen a shake-up with Love Island prospect, Kyle Ashman axed from the show after he was arrested over a machete attack.
Love Island 2025 start date
Love Island 2025 will start at 9pm on Monday, June 9, when Maya Jama will welcome a host of new contestants into the villa.
As usual, the show starts on ITV2 the week following the Late May Bank Holiday — a Love Island tradition.
Swansea set to have stunning new beachside stadium built with club to leave 21,088-seater current home
OSPREYS have unveiled plans for an ambitious makeover of St Helen’s stadium.
The Swansea-based rugby union side are moving to the beachside venue for next season.
Ospreys have been sharing with Championship side Swansea City at the 21,088-seater Liberty Stadium.
But they are making the switch to St Helen’s midway through the 2025/26 campaign.
The venue – which hosts both rugby and cricket – is located just metres from the beach in the Welsh city.
And the club are planning an ambitious makeover to create an 8,000-seater hub for elite rugby in the region.
Phase one of the work will see a 4G pitch installed with a cover built over the existing terrace.
Three new stands will then be built, as well as a new fan zone.
Following completion of the ground, state-of-the-art training facilities will follow later.
Ospreys chief executive Lance Bradley said: “This is a vital step toward bringing our long-term vision to life.
BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK
“It reflects our belief not only in the transformation of St Helen’s, but in the strength of our future, rooted in Swansea and powered by our supporters.
“This is about more than new stands or improved facilities.
“It’s a statement of intent about who we are, where we belong, and where we’re going.
“Our goal is a world-class home for elite rugby, community sport and shared experiences that inspire pride across the region.”
The plans come despite Ospreys being in dispute with the Welsh Rugby Union over funding.
Bradley added: “We are still talking with the WRU about the situation and if we were not confident of a positive outcome that would make things a lot more difficult.
“The fact we are proceeding full steam ahead with the development does shows a level of confidence.”
Swansea Cricket Club share the St Helen’s site and will remain playing at the venue for the 2025 season.
As a result, Ospreys will likely not play at the site until at least December.
Meghan shares rare footage from Lilibet’s Disneyland birthday bash with huge mermaid cake and princess meet & greet
MEGHAN Markle has shared rare footage from Lilibet’s birthday bash in Disneyland.
The Duchess of Sussex can be seen in Minnie Mouse ears – while the young royal, who turned four last week, given a Little Mermaid cake.
Prince Harry can also be seen in the video montage on his wife’s Instagram on various rides at the theme park in California, and at some points with Mickey Mouse ears.
The 1946 song It’s A Good Day by Peggy Lee is playing over the footage and snaps, including an in-ride photo of Harry and Meghan on the Space Mountain roller coaster.
The Duchess captioned the video: “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!“
The footage starts with Lilibet seen excitedly dragging her dad through the park entrance before she is given a special greeting by a Disney princess.
Next, the whole family are seen on a log flume and then Lilibet appears on a Dumbo ride.
A snap shows Harry and Meghan standing with Archie as they watch a Star Wars stage show featuring Storm Troopers.
Another video clip then sees Minnie and Mickey Mouse stuffed toys with ‘Happy Birthday Lilibet’ badges before another photo shows Harry beaming as he and his daughter ride a Buzz Lightyear-themed Star Cruiser ride.
The two royal kids are then shown on a carousel before a snap shows the Ariel cake which says: “Happy Birthday Lili.”
A couple of in-ride photos show Harry, Archie and Meghan on the Cars-themed Radiator Springs Racers attraction – then mum and dad on the space coaster.
A family snap then sees Harry kneeling down to hug his son, six, while Meghan holds Lilibet’s hand – with both kids’ faces obscured by heart emojis.
All the photos of the children in the collection show either the backs of their heads or have their faces covered.
It comes after Meghan, 43, marked Lilibet’s birthday on June 4 by posting a video of her in 2021 twerking in a hospital room in an effort to induce labour.
While wild conspiracy theorists have branded it fake, experts reveal how every pregnancy bump is different – whether it’s large or small, high or low, wide or pointy, it’s all completely normal.
It’s been suggested Meghan posted the video to quell rumours that her pregnancy was faked, and that she wore a prosthetic fake pregnant belly known as a ‘moonbump’.
But the clip has only further fuelled claims from conspiracy theorists, who have questioned whether the baby bump is real.
Some have claimed her bump was too high or the wrong shape, and that her ability to dance in that way at nine months meant she was either “superhuman” or not pregnant at all.
Other online trolls wrote that the bump moves strangely as she dances, and that dancing wouldn’t be possible at all at full-term.
However, what do experts make of it?
Pip Davies, an NHS midwife and co-founder of Midwife Pip Podcast (@midwife_pip) told Sun Health it’s completely normal for baby bumps to come in all shapes and sizes, especially as you near the end of pregnancy.
She explained: “Everybody carries differently, and factors like muscle tone, baby’s position, and even your height can affect how your bump looks and this can change regularly with time of day, day on day or week on week.
“Some bumps are high and round, others are low and wide but all perfectly healthy and unique.
“What matters most is that you and your baby are doing well, not how your bump compares to anyone else’s.”
In the late stages of pregnancy, just before birth or if you’re overdue, the baby bump often changes in appearance and position.
Meghan cradles her huge bump as she dances.
Pip adds: “Commonly in the final weeks of pregnancy, baby descends to engage into the pelvis ahead of labour and this is often when a ‘drop’ in the bump is seen and baby appears lower.”

Putin bombards Ukraine with drone & missile blitz killing at least 3 & injuring 21 after Op Spiderweb ‘revenge’ strikes
VLADIMIR Putin’s forces unleashed their biggest drone assault yet on Ukraine’s second largest city – killing at least three and injuring 21 others.
Kharkiv was rocked overnight as 48 kamikaze drones, along with two missiles and four gliding bombs, slammed into residential areas, according to the city’s mayor.
“We have a lot of damage,” Ihor Terekhov said.
In the latest terror strikes on civilians, 18 multi-story buildings and 13 private houses were hit and damaged.
In Kyiv, a dramatic tower block video filmed by a resident showed the terror of another Putin strike on civilians as flames from the exploding drone shot some 80ft up the building.
Three were killed and at least 21 wounded, including a six-weeks-old baby, and a 14-year-old girl.
A woman, 26, trapped under a slab of concrete was eventually freed three hours after the strike, and was seen being stretchered to an ambulance.
Ukraine state emergency service said: “One of the strikes hit a nine-storey residential building, where the apartments on the upper floors caught fire.
“Rescuers pulled out a woman from under the rubble.
“The shelling also damaged the private sector, a civilian enterprise and other facilities.”
The carnage is a part of a wider Russian revenge blitz that’s pummelling cities across Ukraine following its daring Operation Spiderweb.
The bold Ukrainian drone raid crippled several Russian warplanes at four airbases deep inside enemy territory.
Ukraine said 117 drones were smuggled into Russia, hidden in wooden cabins on trucks with detachable roofs, and launched remotely near the bases.
The operation, 18 months in the making, reportedly destroyed at least 40 aircraft.
Moscow has since been hitting back hard.
Over the past 48 hours, Russia has fired more than 400 drones and 45 missiles across Ukraine, killing at least six and injuring 80 nationwide.
The Russian defence ministry called it a “massive” strike in response to what it labelled “terrorist acts by the Kyiv regime,” The Kyiv Post reports.
In a chilling statement Friday, Putin mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov said the war had become “an existential issue” for Russia and insisted it was about “the future of our children, of our country.”
The blitz came just days after Ukraine destroyed a third of Russia’s strategic nuclear bombers in a stunning sabotage strike.
Speaking to reporters, US President Donald Trump heaped praise on Ukraine for the calculated attack, but warned they had given Putin “a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them last night.”
Air raid sirens wailed through Kyiv as explosions rocked the capital.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia struck nine regions in total, including western areas near the Polish border.
In Lutsk, emergency crews pulled a man’s body from the rubble of a flattened apartment block.
Three first responders were also killed in Kyiv.
Despite recent rounds of stalled peace talks, the Kremlin continues to make sweeping demands — including a total Ukrainian withdrawal from occupied regions and a NATO ban — while ramping up its assault.
Ukraine has rejected those terms as non-starters.
As tensions soar, Ukraine claimed fresh drone hits on Russian airfields and military-linked oil depots.
Moscow said it shot down 174 drones overnight, including ten headed for the capital.
But that wasn’t enough to prevent a huge explosion ripping through Bryansk airport.
Russian bloggers speculated a German-made Taurus missile may have been used.
A fuel depot in Engels, a key supply site for Russia’s long-range bomber base, was also hit, with flames seen billowing into the sky.
