A new intelligence confrontation is unfolding in Eastern Europe after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed Kyiv knows the deployment locations of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missiles, including those stationed in Belarus. Minsk swiftly dismissed the remarks, with Belarus’ intelligence chief mocking the claims and insisting missile locations remain tightly guarded state secrets. The dispute highlights a growing shadow war alongside the conflict in Ukraine, marked by espionage accusations, counterintelligence operations, and fears of cross-border sabotage. As hypersonic weapons move closer to NATO’s eastern flank, secrecy and intelligence warfare are emerging as critical battlegrounds shaping Europe’s security landscape.
