Report: CIA, US special operations forces in Ukraine

Anti War.com:

US special operations forces are on the ground in Ukraine as part of a broad covert operation that includes CIA personnel, The Intercept reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US intelligence and military officials.

The report said that the US withdrew its CIA and special operations assets from Ukraine shortly before Russia’s invasion, although one US official said the CIA “never completely left.”

The CIA initially predicted that Kyiv would fall quickly to Russia, but after it became clear that wouldn’t happen, the Biden administration sent its covert assets back into Ukraine.

The report said that US clandestine operations inside Ukraine “are now far more extensive than they were early in the war, when US intelligence officials were fearful that Russia would steamroll over the Ukrainian army.” more

  1. They are investigating the size and scope of the Lithium deposits in Ukraine. Wars for oil is old hat, wars for Lithium is the new target. The CIA will always be in the shadows pushing buttons. What ever is in the interest of the global elites and big governments, the rest of us are just phucked.

  2. We don’t need “unnamed US intelligence and military officials” to tell us what we already have known for months.

    “The CIA initially predicted that Kyiv would fall quickly to Russia, but after it became clear that wouldn’t happen, the Biden administration sent its covert assets back into Ukraine.”

    Yes, they bravely ran away, they bravely ran away. But they’re back now, Ukraine, and they’re here to help. Don’t you feel better already? Still, I’d watch the exits. If you see them leaving again, there could be trouble.

    Oh, and speaking of leaving:

  3. My HVAC buddy just got back from Spain last month.

    The Local Spanish are fuckin Pissed off that the place is full of “Rich Ukrainians” that fled the conflict very early and are living it up on “Unknown Money”

    I personally had no idea until he told this shortly after his vacation. He said the cabbies filled him in after a large Range Rover went flying by like a madman. Said the place was full of very hi end Mercedes etc.

    His words, not mine.

  4. Now there are reports that the Danish island of Bornholm, near the site of the Nordstream explosions, has lost power. If this is an act of sabotage, and not simply infrastructure failure, I’d bet that it was a false foag by NATO to blame on Russia.

  7. There have been reports of cia and other us and nato assets in Ukraine since biden and nato started trying to coerce Ukraine to join nato and allow military bases there. This is why this war is happening. To Russia it is the reaction the us would have if russia made a treaty with Mexico and put military bases on our border. Arms supplies to Ukraine need to stop.
