Ukraine war: Atesh, the group spying on Russians in occupied Crimea

“I had a hunch that someone was watching me. My heart was pounding.”

He tells us he’s part of a group called Atesh – a word that means fire in Crimean Tatar.

And via a messaging app, he describes his secret life to the BBC: spying on Russian forces in occupied Crimea.
