Evidence gathered by three media outlets has linked Russia’s GRU’s Unit 29155 to assassination attempts and political destabilization efforts. The unit, dedicated to supporting Vladimir Putin’s imperial ambitions, has been implicated in various incidents around the world.
One key piece of evidence includes the geolocation of Russian operatives in different locations before or during incidents related to the mysterious Havana Syndrome. This illness, characterized by a range of symptoms including neurological issues, is believed to be caused by directed energy weapons, some of which were reportedly developed by Unit 29155.
Patients affected by Havana Syndrome have identified Russian agents known to have worked in Unit 29155 from photos, further solidifying the connection. The health incidents possibly linked to Havana Syndrome may have started as early as 2014 at the U.S. consulate in Frankfurt.
Recent reports have indicated that nearly a dozen U.S. officials experienced symptoms of Havana Syndrome before Vice President Kamala Harris’s visit to Hanoi in 2021. This has raised concerns that Russia may be supplying long-range acoustic weapons to foreign governments like Vietnam.
Despite these findings, a U.S. intelligence report from last year concluded that a foreign adversary was unlikely to be behind Havana Syndrome. Victims of the illness have expressed frustration over the lack of official recognition and a definitive cause from the U.S. government. The mystery surrounding Havana Syndrome and its potential connection to Unit 29155 continues to raise questions about the involvement of foreign entities in these incidents.
