A decade long secret partnership between the CIA and Ukraine has been critical for lethal operations against Russia: NYT

The partnership, which can be traced back to February 2014, has provided Ukraine with intelligence-gathering training, communications equipment, and, in the past eight years, a network of spy bases built along the Russian border, the report said.
A CIA spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.
The partnership began during a crisis year for Ukraine when the country's pro-Kremlin president, Viktor Yanukovych, had just been ousted, and Russia would soon annex Crimea.
According to the Times report, Ukraine's Security Service head Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, first sought the assistance of the CIA and Britain's MI6 to rebuild the country's intelligence agency on February 24, 2014 — exactly eight years before Russia invaded Ukraine.
“That's how it all started,” Nalyvaichenko told The Times.
After realizing that Ukraine's intelligence agency could be an asset to the US, the CIA agreed to support Ukraine, which initially came in the form of communications supply and training, the Times report said.
Sucks to be a globalist communist these days.
Biden_butt_boy and his fellow travelers have been posting NYT, USATODAY, and WP articles constantly and, now that the propaganda wall is crumbling under the weight of reality bitch, whine and lie about it.
Schadenfreude is a guilty pleasure. 😎
Please do not ping me as part of some list again thank you
Stop.
I’ll just ping your other handle, speedyinTexas.
I am to the point where Russia needs to target all the “leaders” let it rip and we will clean it all up in 50 years.
Fine.

RE-POSTED HERE FOR COVERAGE:
The dangerous cabal that have dragged us to this precipice — those who well-and-truly comprise “The Evil Empire” — are this noxious nest of nutty Neocon nincompoops who have, for more than 30 years, utterly FAILED to grasp the immensely desirable international seismic shift in geopolitical alignments that was laid before, and rejected by, them after the Soviet Dissolution. Had the West put these nutjobs on “HOLD” and, instead, sanely rejected their freeze-dried Cold War mind frame, by now not only the Ukraine, but also the Russian Federation could be part of NATO, and the collective mass of international cooperation properly trained upon the more pressing global issues that bear upon the survival of humanity: virulent Islamism and the airtight containment of Communist China and its satellite states.
Instead we have this sh** show.
History will record that, when Russians ceased thinking of themselves as Soviets, the greatest failure of Western diplomacy in general, and of NATO in particular, was the cataclysmic failure to also cease thinking of Russians as Soviets. The objection may be raised that it would not have been wise to too-readily accept their sincerity, but this wry maxim is the prescriptive for the case: “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” Had we done so, we could have discovered the true depth of the sincerity of Russian overtures of comity and cooperation with the West. Instead, we listened to naysaying Neocons, snubbed and shunned the Kremlin, and an historic opportunity to massively advance global peace and human harmony was flushed down the crapper.
If anyplace on Earth really ends up getting nuked, pray to God the Neocons are all at the epicenter of the blast.
Where did it say the CIA ran Ukraine in 2014 and that Ukraine is not a sovereign country?
But I’m very glad the CIA had been there.
Whatever federal employee.
You know you’re sick in your head.
Please try to convince me of the Ukrainian advances on the front.
Please get lost your just bothering people about nothing.
Propaganda wall in your Putin Stooge mind... until you think it suits you.

Whatever federal employee.Look at how easy you beat down the PINGING Putin Stooge.
And he was all excited with his stupidity too.
Just plain common sense
We should be allies

Fixed my tagline
General Valerii Zaluzhnyi in early November 2023 said that the war was a “stalemate”.
I posted this to you a couple of times already. Iguana brain.
Please tell about the ruZZian occupation of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson. You know, if you can.
The Russians are hitting the Ukraine pretty much all along the 600 mile front softening them up for a big push.
ruZZia finally took some towns on the frontline after TWO YEARS.
So you are telling me your God Putin is a stupidass.
