The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) has launched a new section called "Engineers of Aggression" on the War&Sanctions platform.

The intelligence agency reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

The section will publish information about individuals who support Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine by designing and engineering Russian weapon systems.

The intelligence agency notes that Russia's scientific community plays a key role in enabling its ability to wage a criminal genocidal war against Ukraine. Russian scientists and engineers are involved in the development of missile systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, guidance systems, and artificial intelligence used in strikes against civilian infrastructure and in the killing of Ukrainians.

Despite their involvement in the war effort, many Russian scientists continue to remain part of the global scientific community – receiving international grants, cooperating with foreign research institutions and companies, and participating in international events. The knowledge and experience they gain is then used in Russia's domestic enterprises and institutes to develop new tools of mass killing and war crimes, the agency said.
