GRU
Kremlin's foreign spies
The GRU is Russia's military intelligence agency, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Armed Forces.
Distinct from the KGB and its successor the FSB, the GRU handles foreign military intelligence and special operations.
It gained notoriety for election interference, cyberattacks, and the poisoning of former agents: GRU operatives were implicated in the Skripal attack. (Lowercase gru has no standard meaning.)
