The CIA Built Up Ukraine’s Intelligence Services. Now It Wonders If Ukraine Has Gone Too Far
Daily Caller ^ | October 23, 2023 | Micaela Burrow

Ukraine’s unrestrained approach toward sabotage and assassination since Russia’s invasion is testing its deeply embedded relationship with the CIA, officials from both countries said, according to The Washington Post.

Ukraine’s success is due mostly to the CIA building up Ukraine’s soviet-style intelligence directorates and forging deep ties with elite groups of Ukrainian operatives since Russia first invaded in 2014, the Post reported, citing more than two dozen current and former U.S., Western and Ukrainian intelligence and security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject. The CIA and some officials in Kyiv are uncomfortable with the targeted killings of Russian citizens, officials and alleged collaborators on Russian and occupied territory.

“All targets hit by the SBU are completely legal,” Vasyl Malyuk, director of Ukraine’s main intelligence service, told the Post in a statement. Officials on both sides said the CIA and Ukraine have worked to maintain distance between the U.S. officials and Ukraine’s assassination gambits.

And there you have the real reason why Washington can't give up the Ukraine Project easily.

The CIA has figured out that these Uke Nazi spys intend on retiring to a life of luxury in the US, and that they get what they want.

In times when the CIA was aware of operations in advance, one Ukrainian official said, the CIA would respond: “We don’t want any part of that.”

Says the agency attempted a coup against a sitting US President

So the Ukrainians are killing their enemies and traitors inside Russia during wartime? So what? Has the CIA grown THAT soft?

There would have been no problem with the OSS during World War II, and then in the 1950s and 1960s under Dulles, before the Church Committee led to its castration in the 1970s.

So what?

The Uke Nazi Terrorists are murdering Women and Children non combatants in Terrorist Bombings of Civilian areas, and you wholeheartedly endorse and approve of Terrorist action.

“Ukraine’s success?”

Like having Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhi annexed by Russia?

By losing 400,000 soldiers?

By failing to regain captured land in the counter offensive?

Seriously, what success is this referring to?

The Success of Off-Shore accounts.

Biden has his elves - Dems and Republicans - ready to deliver another $100 Billion - and they still block any audits or mechanisms to track any of the money.

The Legislators don’t want the money tracked, and have admitted it.

What are the top 3 countries?

I think this is just CYA for the CIA since the Ukes accidentally killed Dugin’s daughter, and she was a “non-combatant”.

I guess their participation in the Trump-Russia takedown was a kind of political assassination (and a two-for-one) the final results of which we are yet to see. Perhaps they feared Trump would try to find a diplomatic settlement to Russia’s concern over the shelling of the Donbass and potential NATO membership? Idk, but about now they are wishing he had been left in place and they has stayed out of US politics,including entanglement with Biden.

You're on the right track, however the Uke Nazi spies and the Prog Socialist Democrat-Clinton-Muzzie Left will NEVER abandon this course.

It's about the money to be made, stolen and laundered in Ukraine for GloboHomo Elite.

Chile
Philippines
Greece
Indonesia

Just off the top of my head.

You can argue about the US role vs indigenous politics for all these but there dertainly was a US role.

If you like, you can include all of Eastern Europe plus ex-Soviet states (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, etc.) as there was a CIA/western agencies role in them too.

You gotta love how the eunuchs at the CIA are humble-bragging. Probably the most incompetent spy organization in the world, one that relies exclusively on Uncle Sam’s good name for walk-ins, and telemetry and sigint for the rest, is claiming credit for Ukraine’s balls-to-the-wall hits against Russia. The reality is likely closer to the Ukrainian leaning on old KGB habits they never quite shook, but now are deploying to the max against what were formerly brotherly Slavs until they launched a full-scale invasion.

Just remember, those “balls-to-the-wall” Uke Nazi spies will be retiring right here in the US and they’ll be hiding behind the CIA Eunuchs, who will be hiding behind you.
