Kremlin accuses three Russian rocket scientists of passing on state secrets. The scientists were involved in the development of the Kinschal hypersonic missile.
The missile, which is considered unstoppable, was intercepted over the sky of Kyiv. An open letter calls for the release of the three scientists, but the Kremlin continues to insist on its charges. The defendants remain in custody and it is unclear whether Shiplyuk, Maslov and Swegintsev actually passed on secrets to the prosecution.
