Army insiders say they had suspicions Kira Korolev was a spy — and openly joked about it — when they went through military training together at Kapooka in early 2017. Speaking under anonymity, the soldiers told 7 NEWS Korolev spoke openly about her life in Russia , where she was born, and told them her husband was formerly in Spetsnaz, a Russia n term typically associated with the country’s special units.
Neither applied for bail. 7NEWS can also reveal Kira planned to join the Australian army as far back as 2015, posting questions to the Facebook group, ONLINE: Women in Defence Q&A. She posted: “I have my bachelor degree and masters degree in a bit different areas and work experience from other field either. I am not sure what exact role I could perform in the army based on my education and experience but very interested in joining.
