This is the best summary I could come up with:
After missing their anticipated salary payments, Russian officers decided to leak sensitive information about Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet to a Ukrainian partisan movement.
Ukrainian resistance fighters told the Kyiv Post in a recent interview that they managed to gather information about high-ranking Russian commanders from officers who were frustrated by Moscow’s failure to pay their salaries on time.
Kyiv’s forces on Friday bombarded the Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters in Sevastopol, located on the southwestern edge of Crimea, with several Western-made Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles.
The group said information was passed to state agencies like the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR), the latter of which confirmed to the Kyiv Post that it has worked with partisans to help target Russian positions around Crimea.
These incursions include the destruction of multiple S-400 air-defense systems, attacks on an air base and on a command post belonging to the Black Sea Fleet, and a massive missile strike on a shipyard in Sevastopol.
Western intelligence assessed that the assault damaged two ships while also delivering a long-term blow to Moscow’s maritime logistics and operations, and Ukraine’s military claimed dozens of Russian sailors were killed.
