A suspected spy has been caught in Sweden, but the Valdimir is no ordinary Russian spy because he is actually a young beluga whale. As ridiculous as it sounds, the mammal is allegedly the product of training animals for combat purposes in Russia.
The Valdimir was reportedly trained by the Murmansk Institute for Marine Biology Research, a fact that came to light after a Russian state-controlled television station admitted that the military had tried to train whales, dolphins and seals as early as 2017.
