ZURICH, April 8 (Reuters) – Austria’s government is monitoring the global banking turmoil although there are so far no signs of it spreading to the country’s financial sector, Finance Minister Magnus Brunner said in an interview published on Saturday.

The documents, which provided the clearest picture yet of the Kremlin’s depleted military capacity, were telling as to the extent to which US espionage tactics have effectively penetrated Vladimir Putin’s war machine. 

Thousands of people have signed a petition demanding that Marilyn Manson’s ‘Heart-Shaped Glasses’ be pulled from YouTube in light of actress Evan Rachel Wood’s claims that Manson raped her in the music video (pictured in 2007) 

The Austrian lender is now the most important Western bank in Russia, offering a lifeline to people and businesses there seeking to make international payments, but it is under growing pressure from Western officials and investors to quit.

Wood, 34, makes the shocking allegations in this month’s HBO documentary Phoenix Rising, claiming that she and then-boyfriend Manson had discussed filming a simulated sex scene for the video — but once the camera started rolling, he penetrated her without her consent in front of a room of people. 

The 40-year-old Tatarsky, whose real name was Maxim Fomin, was accorded military honours including a gun salute and an army band at the funeral at Moscow’s Troyekurovskoye cemetery due to his past participation in military operations in eastern Ukraine alongside Moscow-backed separatists battling Kyiv’s forces.

MOSCOW, April 8 (Reuters) – Hundreds of mourners, including the leader of Russia’s Wagner private militia group, attended the funeral on Saturday of pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky, who was killed on April 2 in a cafe bomb blast that Moscow has blamed on Ukraine.

Prigozhin is also known for his sharp criticism of Russia’s top brass over their performance in Ukraine. The Wagner group has been spearheading efforts in recent months to capture the city of Bakhmut in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.

However, the intelligence breach, which included reports from late February to early March but have only been leaked online in recent days, also unearthed probes in a variety of nations, including South Korea, Iran and the UK, per the .

The leak comes amid speculation that a wave of classified document breaches could be being orchestrated by Russia, in what was described by a senior intelligence official as ‘a nightmare for the Five Eyes’ – a reference to the intelligence sharing agreement between the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. 

“Vladlen has proven that today the front line passes everywhere: in the zone of military action, in the rear, and in cities, hearts and minds,” said Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Telegram messaging app, noting he had died “in the centre of peaceful St Petersburg at terrorists’ hands”.

Now, US military officials are able to provide real-time warnings to their Ukrainian counterparts about impending strikes in exact locations, indicating exhaustive intelligence gathering in the region. 

‘He was monitoring my every move. I couldn’t reach out to anybody do say, “I need help.” Cause if he caught me doing that, then it would be two days getting yelled at, pleading my case, trying to talk him off the ledge. He just knew how to break you down. 

However, the scandal is already being noted as one of the most damaging national security breaches in recent memory, which may have further implications into the legitimacy of US espionage into the future. 

Allied nations, such as South Korea, have also reportedly been the subject of spying by the Pentagon, raising questions as to the diplomatic impact the leak could have at a time of deteriorating global ties. 

‘Manson had hacked into my emails. He was watching me, and he had people watching me … under the guide of,  “This is for your own good,” she says, adding that he also hacked into her social media accounts. 

An FBI probe was launched Friday to determine the source of the leak, however a senior official told The New York Times that tracking down the perpetrator could prove difficult because a large number of officials have the security clearances needed to access the information. 

Notably, the documents covered intimate details about the spread of US military spying across the globe. Per multiple reports, this included classified information about Iran’s nuclear program and North Korea’s missile systems.  

The lawsuit, which claims defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, says Wood publicly cast Manson ‘as a rapist and abuser — a malicious falsehood that has derailed Warner’s successful music, TV, and film career.’

American officials told the  that while the leak underscores the Pentagon’s capacity to collect information on Russia’s strategies, it remains to be seen whether their sources of information will be hampered by the revelations.
