Former Gazprombank VP Reportedly Joins Ukrainian Armed Forces as Drone Operator

Sunday, October 18, 2026 at 01:45 PM

A former vice president of Gazprombank, Igor Volobuev, has reportedly joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces (VSU) as a combat drone operator. The post questions why a secret Russian underground movement chose Volobuev as its spokesperson and identifies him as a junior sergeant in the VSU.

The text references alleged strikes on oil refineries (NPD) and associated billion-dollar losses, attributing these actions to partisans from "Chernaya Iskra" (Black Spark). It also mentions an interview with Igor Volobuev, identified as a junior sergeant in the VSU.
