The CIA is overseeing a secret intensive training program in the U.S. for elite Ukrainian special operations forces and other intelligence personnel, according to five former intelligence and national security officials familiar with the initiative. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials.

The CIA-trained forces could soon play a critical role on Ukraine’s eastern border, where Russian troops have massed in what many fear is preparation for an invasion. The U.S. and Russia started security talks earlier this week in Geneva but have failed thus far to reach any concrete agreement.

Some here don't think Biden will fund a CIA backed insurgency. It is already happening folks.

Best paragraph of the story:

One person familiar with the program put it more bluntly. “The United States is training an insurgency,” said a former CIA official, adding that the program has taught the Ukrainians how “to kill Russians.”

A better way to put it would be:

The top criminals of the worldwide mafia have been orchestrating their crimes from Ukraine.

Well, that worked with the 'trained Afghans'...

Afghans dropped their weapons before Biden's thugs could give the order to cut and run ... so let's try that crap again in Ukraine.

“The Biden administration has reportedly assembled a task force to determine how the CIA and other U.S. agencies could support a Ukrainian insurgency, should Russia launch a large-scale incursion.”

No, they are planning to invade Ukraine. You should stay on top of the news.
