Rogozin resorts to libel suits to counter claims that he’s funneling money from Roscosmos for a PR whitewash of himself and to bribe outlets to pull undesireable stories.

The defendant looks to be a minor outlet without a serious track record and “Kompromat” in its name, so it’s probably a tour de force against a minor target.

What's kazachok and what does that mean?

It’s a diminutive from “Cossack”, but it seems like Zak is having a serious association with the phrase spawned by the movie The Elisive Avengers: zaslannyi kazachok.

Which means a spy.

In XIX/early XX - an inn servant in folk clothes cosplaying a cossack, an equivalent of English "boy" as "servant" in such context.
to send a k./a sent k. - when someone pays the servant  to hear what are they talking about at another table, More widely - a spy, like written above.

Well, that’s going to be a tough week at Roscosmos. The attourney-general alleges another RUR 1.6 billion stolen. Just in 2018. Just in the advanced weapons projects.

How very surprising and unusual. Breaking news.

Someone at Roscosmos forgot to share with the attorney-general? :)
