Ukrainian women are setting ‘honeytraps’ for Russian soldiers – using dating apps to get them to reveal intelligence about the war.
For over a year, two Ukrainian women in their 20s have been using fake dating app profiles to meet and engage in relationships with Russian soldiers, tricking them into giving away information.
One of the women told the Times: ‘We’re looking for information about number of troops, information on the amount of military equipment, the success or lack of success of some attacks, their problems with food and equipment.’
The pair – who work for a Ukrainian risk assessment firm, Molfar – use AI images and set the catchment area for Russian-occupied zones, messaging back and forth with targets.
One of the women said: ‘Some of them are really desperate and become so in love with us that they ask us to marry them in a few days or in a few weeks.’

Tom Dodd, a senior envoy, was summoned to the foreign ministry in Moscow and was given a dressing down for British support of what the Kremlin deems Ukraine’s ‘terrorist actions’ and for allegedly obstructing Russian diplomacy in the UK.
Diplomats, apart from the ambassador and three other top officials, will now have to give at least five days’ notice of travel outside a 75-mile free-movement zone.
Meanwhile, a third night of Russian air attacks targeted southern cities in Ukraine yesterday, including the port city of Odesa, where at least two people were killed.
