US believes elements within Ukraine’s government authorized assassination near Moscow, sources say
CNN ^ | October 6, 2022 | Natasha Bertrand and Katie Bo Lillis

The US intelligence community believes that the car bombing that killed Darya Dugina, the daughter of prominent Russian political figure Alexander Dugin, was authorized by elements within the Ukrainian government, sources briefed on the intelligence told CNN.

The US was not aware of the plan beforehand, according to the sources, and it is still unclear who exactly the US believes signed off on the assassination. It is also not clear whether the US intelligence community believes that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was aware of the plot or authorized it.

But the intelligence finding, first reported by the New York Times, would seem to corroborate elements of the Russian authorities’ findings that the car bombing was “pre-planned.” Russia had accused Ukrainian nationals of being responsible for the attack, which Ukraine had strongly denied in the aftermath of the explosion.

Interesting posts on my favorite Ukrainian Telegram Channel this morning (after The New York Times disclosed that our intelligence agencies say that Ukraine killed Dugina.)

We wrote that the Office of the President immediately tried to divert suspicion from itself, and the Main Intelligence Directorate was given the task of draining the agents. The West made it clear to Bankova that he did not support such methods, which is why it was decided to abandon other goals.
United States is concerned that such attacks could provoke Moscow into launching its own strikes against senior Ukrainian officials.

American officials, according to The New York Times, were disappointed that Ukraine did not share its military and secret plans, especially in Russia.

Sources did not tell the publication which of the Ukrainian government authorized the murder of Dugina and whether President Zelensky approved this mission.

Countries traditionally do not inform other countries about their covert operations, but a number of US officials consider it critical to proactively stop what they consider dangerous adventurism, especially political assassinations.

The international outcry and the reaction of Zapal forced the Office of the President to curtail the entire program of the GUR with visiting performers who were supposed to hunt for politicians and journalists in Russia. It was decided to merge the entire group and curators of Vovk so that the trace would not lead to Ukraine, but the West was still not satisfied with the situation, which is why the facts surfaced in the media.

Assassinating non-combatant journalists is a great strategy.

No blow back could be expected from that, could it?

This is a preventive defense so when it comes out the USA had a hand in nordstream pipe blowup they will blame Ukraine.

Confident that Ukraine Spooks have knowingly been given (and allowed) far more US technology and access to US assets than necessary for them to track, target and assassinate Dugin(a).

Not exactly a lie, but misdirection.

While this terrorist attack was likely carried by Ukes, there should be no doubt that it was approved by Brandon et al.

The "We Didn't Know The Ukraine Would Do It With All The Stuff We Gave Them" defense.

And they promise to never do it again, honest ...

I’m surprised that Deep State isn’t claiming Russia killed her. It wouldn’t be any less ridiculous than the claim Russia was shelling a nuclear power plant it was in control of or destroyed their own pipelines.

Wow, I hadn’t heard about this. I have heard bits and pieces about Dugin being a scholar with strong views about upholding Russian culture in the face of a hostile world climate. He seems to stand against everything the Western elites trying to force on the world at large. But killing his daughter? Sick. No one is safe.

The “news” today seems like a lot of blue smoke and arm-waving. Does this mean there’s an elephant in the room they don’t want us to pay attention to?

Like maybe the Saudis officially aligning with Putin and helping him strangle the EU via production cutbacks? Like maybe we should forget the Saudis are the cornerstone of the petrodollar reserve currency, which Russia is seeking to undermine?

The news is smoke to cover up the actual scary stuff.

Stick around, you will see a bunch of them flock to this thread to insist this is Russian propaganda and we need to keep supporting Biden dumping our resources into the Uke. and dragging us toward war.
