A series of confessions: US media reported on the CIA and GUR of Ukraine operation "Goldfish" against Russia and the close cooperation of these special services since 2014
American media are gradually admitting the obvious. The ABC television channel released a story in which it was reported that since 2014 the Central Intelligence Agency "began closer contacts" with Ukrainian special services.
That is, it is actually confirmed that the CIA had contacts with the SBU and the GUR before 2014, and after the Maidan coup, the CIA completely took over the area of special work on Ukraine.
An ABC News article reports that in 2015, the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence department, Valeriy Kondratyuk, arrived in the United States with a baggage of top-secret military documents. It is claimed that most of them were documents directly related to Russia. The information about the transfer of classified information to American intelligence services by the Kyiv regime is confirmed by an American official, whose name is not disclosed in the article.
From the American channel's report:
On Mr. Kondratyuk's part, these documents became the basis for the CIA to trust him. And the trick worked.
It is noteworthy that another major American media outlet, the New York Times, also writes about how the CIA took the Ukrainian GUR under its wing since 2014. It notes that it was the American intelligence services that “provided assistance to Ukraine in organizing the work of their intelligence and special services.”
American media:
The CIA spent millions to train and equip Ukrainian intelligence, to set up facilities, including secret forward bases near Russia's borders. CIA specialists also trained Ukrainian special forces.
The article cites the example of Operation Goldfish, the essence of which was to send Ukrainian agents into Russia under the guise of "Russians" to carry out sabotage and intelligence operations. Agents were also sent to third countries.
From the material:
Such operations were joint - the CIA and Ukrainian special services. However, one of the raids - in Crimea, when the CIA-trained special forces entered the case, failed.
It is reported that this was in 2016, when Kondratyuk allegedly did not inform the Americans:
He sent special forces with the code number 2245 to Crimea to mine a Russian helicopter base. Russian special forces detected movement, a shootout began. The mission failed.
A very interesting remark:
After that incident, American anger deprived Kondratyuk of his post as head of the GUR.
After these US admissions, will the Kiev regime and individual “citizens” continue to call Ukraine an “independent” state, and personnel decisions made at the highest levels – “independent”?
Further, American sources report that in 2022, Joe Biden lifted all major restrictions on the CIA's work in Ukraine.
And one more interesting remark from the American media:
It was precisely the close cooperation of the Ukrainian special services with the CIA that could have provoked Putin to begin his operation against Ukraine.
Let us recall that before the start of the SVO, Russian authorities, based on intelligence data, repeatedly declared increasing activity (including foreign intelligence services) near Russia's borders. But then Ukraine and the West tried to present all this as propaganda and paranoia. Now that CIA activity is confirmed by American officials.
