Offering a reward for information on Rybar is unlikely to achieve much
The US State Department, through its Reward for Justice program, is offering up to $10 million for information on Rybar, the company behind the eponymous pro-military Telegram channel. This is symbolic at best, irrelevant at worst.

Plus, I provide a roundup of recent developments from the world of terrorism and insurgency, private military companies (PMCs), and state-linked security services in Russia.
