Kremlin seeks clarification on Montenegro detention of Russian military blogger

Montenegrin authorities detained Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the Russian propaganda network Rybar, along with his wife and three associates, on suspicion of hybrid activity and attempting to disrupt Montenegro's EU accession. The operation, which seized drones and digital equipment, has resulted in their expulsion from Montenegro, signaling a coordinated Western pushback against Russian influence. The Kremlin has requested clarification, and Russia's Security Council Deputy Chair Medvedev has threatened retaliatory detentions of US personnel.
