Investigation Reveals Russia's GRU Unit 29155 Paid Taliban $200,000 per U.S. Soldier, Totaling Tens of Millions
Jan 8, 2025, 04:32 PM
An 18-month investigation by Insider has revealed that Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU, allegedly paid tens of millions of dollars to the Taliban to target U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan. The investigation indicates that the GRU Unit 29155 was responsible for this operation, which included payments of $200,000 for each U.S. soldier killed. The findings suggest a broader network involved in these activities, with at least two asylum seekers in Germany reportedly connected to the operation. This investigation sheds light on Russia's purported support for the Taliban and its implications for U.S. military personnel.
