Exactly.
Ubiquity.ru is one of the places from which we ordered Ubiquity devices when in October of 2025, after about a month of reporting on Ubiquity, one of our reporters went undercover.
He signed up for a Russian email account, used a VPN, posed as a Russian military officer who is ostensibly procuring goods to fight Ukraine.
And he visited all of these third-party websites, websites like ubiquity.ru.
Correct.
Hunter Brooks, a reporter who is staying anonymous for obvious reasons, contacted a dozen Russian e-commerce sites openly selling Ubiquiti items.
And one of the first vendors we reached in our undercover reporting was a woman named Nina Kuznetsova.
So here's the deal with Nina.
She operates multiple Russian storefronts with domain names like ubiquity.ru, and she openly sells Ubiquity products that have been banned from export to Russia since the war began.
Yeah, Nina isn't operating in the shadows here.
We didn't have to go sign up for some secret group chat to be able to contact her.
We were able to actually do open source intelligence on her, and she appears to be doing quite well.
She lives in an apartment on Leninsky Avenue in Moscow.
Not going to be more specific, but it's one of the most iconic streets in the city.
And then we actually found social media pages belonging, presumably, to her son and business partner, Andre, who's been posting photos from trips to Bali and Istanbul.
Yeah, and Nina was eager to help our undercover reporter and to prove her bona fides, to show that her products were the real deal and actually reaching the front lines.
Nina was basically sending us evidence that her s*** was good.
Like a weed dealer who comes over with a briefcase, except she's not slinging purple haze.
Sure, she's slinging Wi-Fi antennae, to be specific.
But just what was she sending you?
