I love pleasant surprises. Yesterday I came back from my morning walk. I saw British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the side of President Zelenskyy in Kyiv. I was elated! Elena was cautious and concerned; "Johnson could lead the Russians right to Zelenskyy."
I have gone in-depth to figure out how
Boris Johnson was able to sneak into Ukraine undetected. Nobody is saying much.
There was one tantalizing clue about Johnson being on a train in Ukraine.
Russia has a spy agency like the US National
Security Agency. It is listening to phone calls, reading emails, monitoring
radio communications, etc. Spy satellites are constantly overhead listening and
watching. Russian military agency GRU is quite competent.
How did Johnson sneak in? One could not use
any form of electronic communications including secret diplomatic codes,
encrypted email, encrypted radio communications, etc. Boris Johnson would write
a handwritten note to President Zelenskyy setting forth details for his visit.
This handwritten note would go in a sealed diplomatic pouch. It would go to the
British embassy in Kyiv. The British ambassador would open the pouch. He would
read the note. He would go to see President Zelenskyy in person with no fanfare
or even a phone call. He would share the note with President Zelenskyy. All
details would be worked out. The British ambassador would return to the embassy
and send a handwritten note to Boris Johnson. It would go in a sealed
diplomatic pouch that would end up at 10 Downing Street in London.
Now Johnson would have to make
transportation arrangements. His most trusted senior Royal Air Force officer
would make preparations for a flight to Ukraine. Most likely, Britain's Air
Force One would not be used. Some innocuous transport plane would be put into
service. It would have an official flight plan landing somewhere in Poland.
Then a secret flight to Lviv would take place. Johnson would land unannounced.
He would get on a train going to Kyiv.
