The Justice Department announced charges Friday against a Russian national who allegedly entered the United States under a fake identity and gathered information from American citizens about the then-looming Russian invasion of Ukraine

For years, Sergey Vladimirovich Cherkasov, a 37-year-old agent of a Russian intelligence service, operated under the alias Victor Muller Ferreira, prosecutors said. Cherkasov allegedly established the alias in Brazil, where he pretended to be the son of a deceased Brazilian national, before moving to the US in 2018 under the guise of attending graduate school in Washington, DC, the Justice Department said.

” That source also told Cherkasov, he allegedly wrote, that before meeting with a Ukrainian government official, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin “was explicitly instructed by the administration … ‘not to give any conceivable signal of the US military involvement potentiality.’” “Meaning,” Cherkasov allegedly continued, “the administration is definitely not in any position to help Ukrainians, if the fight breaks out.

No fake ID needed, now you just walk across the border and you’re in like Flynn😎

But yet a Chinese spy balloon travels across the whole country without being shot down..

I like this part…. Like to see how the White House explains this one:

Lol russians flooded through the Yuma border last summer.... Biden knew and did nothing

Meanwhile at the border…

Seriously. What possible information about Ukraine with the average American citizen have?

Since 10/2022, 70 illegals on terrorists watch list caught. Now imagine how many there are among the 1.5 MILLION got aways since POTUS took office. There are 193 countries, we're being invaded by illegals from 160. wbd, CNN should have been paying better attention before now.

22 million illegal aliens

CNN = Ukraine + Trump + LGbTqiRP…

What about the 800 Chinese who've entered our Southern border? Checked THEM out yet

TRUMP rally Today At 4:00 et on Newsmax....

Wait....so you can't enter the country under a fake identity? Or no paperwork? Now I'm just confused.

and who is entering illegally every day?

Interesting. My question is what did Brazil and the US miss that the Netherlands did not?!

for sure all russian spy of terrorist putin are already inside america making plan how to destroy america

Reminder not to use electronic bracelet nor house-arrest like Italy did. Russian spy caught there, broke bracelet and ... 🤦🙄🇮🇹 (Was reported 23rd March by f.i. UK Guardian) Russia spying

Soon to be exchanged for another America-hating drug dealer?

One thing is for sure Americans are divided about the war in Ukraine

Talk about the violation of human rights in French during the on going peaceful demonstration. Hypocrites

Did many American citizens have information about the looming invasion that would have been useful to Russia?

So the Russian govt came to the US to get information about their invasion of Ukraine? I'm definitely missing something here.

Why use fake identity when he could have walked through the Southern Border?
