GOV/MIL Bombshell Report: CIA Built “12 Secret Spy Bases” in Ukraine and Waged Shadow War for Last Decade

[Cardinal]

On Sunday The New York Times published an explosive and very belated full admission that US intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.”


This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the 2014 Maidan coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders’ communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory.

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former head of the SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, Kiev and Washington now want world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what President Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

While the lengthy NYT report is full of fresh revelations and confirmation of just how deeply the CIA has always been involved in Ukraine, below are seven of the biggest contained in the story…

Description of secret spy bunker​

The report contains a surprisingly detailed description of one of the ‘secret’ underground command centers established by the CIA near the Russian border… location undisclosed of course:

Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov.
The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military.
There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the CIA.

Elite commando force​

Within two years after the 2014 West-backed coup in Ukraine, the CIA had set up a training program for elite Ukrainian operatives:

Around 2016, the CIA began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that CIA technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. (One officer in the unit was Kyrylo Budanov, now the general leading Ukraine’s military intelligence.)
And the CIA also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence.

Ukraine transformed into an “intelligence-gathering hub”​

The US intelligence network in Ukraine (which is tantamount to NATO intelligence network too) has in reality been more extensive than pretty much all prior media speculation has envisioned. Ukraine has long been a massive “intelligence gathering hub” for Washington and its partners:

In more than 200 interviews, current and former officials in Ukraine, the United States and Europe described a partnership that nearly foundered from mutual distrust before it steadily expanded, turning Ukraine into an intelligence-gathering hub that intercepted more Russian communications than the CIA station in Kyiv, Ukraine, could initially handle. Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence and matters of sensitive diplomacy.
Now these intelligence networks are more important than ever, as Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is more dependent on sabotage and long-range missile strikes that require spies far behind enemy lines. And they are increasingly at risk: If Republicans in Congress end military funding to Kyiv, the CIA may have to scale back.

Huge NYT admission that Putin was basically right​

Below is a hugely ironic excerpt from the Times report. The section begins by noting that Putin has repeatedly blamed the US-NATO for expanding its military and intelligence infrastructure into Ukraine. Not only had this precisely been going on for the past decade, as is now being admitted, but was presented by the Kremlin as a key cause of the Russian invasion of Feb.24, 2022. Putin and his officials were adamant on the eve of the invasion that NATO was militarizing Ukraine. The Times appears to now fully admit that, yes – this was actually the case:

Putin has long blamed Western intelligence agencies for manipulating Kyiv and sowing anti-Russia sentiment in Ukraine.
Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the CIA, together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow.
…U.S. officials were often reluctant to fully engage, fearing that Ukrainian officials could not be trusted, and worrying about provoking the Kremlin.Yet a tight circle of Ukrainian intelligence officials assiduously courted the CIA and gradually made themselves vital to the Americans. In 2015, Gen. Valeriy Kondratiuk, then Ukraine’s head of military intelligence, arrived at a meeting with the CIA’s deputy station chief and without warning handed over a stack of top-secret files.

According to a new account in the NYT:
On the night of the Maidan coup in Ukraine ten years ago, Feb. 24th 2014, Ukraine's post-coup spy chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko arrived at his new headquarters and made his first call to "the C.I.A. station chief and the local head of MI6."… pic.twitter.com/Dun8mPmnIR

2014 Coup… and Crimea​

The report indirectly references this very critical period which set Ukraine and Russian on their tragic collision course:

With violence escalating, an unmarked U.S. government plane touched down at an airport in Kyiv carrying John Brennan, then the director of the CIA. He told Nalyvaichenko that the CIA was interested in developing a relationship but only at a pace the agency was comfortable with, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.
To the CIA, the unknown question was how long Nalyvaichenko and the pro-Western government would be around. The CIA had been burned before in Ukraine.
…The result was a delicate balancing act. The CIA was supposed to strengthen Ukraine’s intelligence agencies without provoking the Russians. The red lines were never precisely clear, which created a persistent tension in the partnership.

Operation Goldfish​

Money and advanced tech given by the CIA has allowed the Ukrainians to establish eavesdropping operations far beyond what they would otherwise be capable of. All the while, elite commando teams were being trained by the CIA in European cities as part of a program called ‘Operation Goldfish’. The NYT reporting includes a bit of a ‘boast’ of the Ukrainians now being able to hack into Russian military networks:

In the bunker, Dvoretskiy pointed to communications equipment and large computer servers, some of which were financed by the CIA. He said his teams were using the base to hack into the Russian military’s secure communications networks.
“This is the thing that breaks into satellites and decodes secret conversations,” Dvoretskiy told a Times journalist on a tour, adding that they were hacking into spy satellites from China and Belarus, too.
…The CIA began sending equipment in 2016, after the pivotal meeting at Scattergood, Dvoretskiy said, providing encrypted radios and devices for intercepting secret enemy communications.

A stunning admission: “Tiptoeing Around Trump”​

Among the most interesting and curious moments of the NYT report is a description of the CIA program’s expanse under the Trump administration. The report suggests that the true scope may have even been hidden from Trump. The Russian hawks in his administration quietly did the ‘dirty work’, we are told:

The election of Trump in November 2016 put the Ukrainians and their CIA partners on edge.
Trump praised Putin and dismissed Russia’s role in election interference. He was suspicious of Ukraine and later tried to pressure its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to investigate his Democratic rival, Biden, resulting in Trump’s first impeachment.

The report then emphasizes, “But whatever Trump said and did, his administration often went in the other direction. This is because Trump had put Russia hawks in key positions, including Mike Pompeo as CIA director and John Bolton as national security adviser.”

And further, “They visited Kyiv to underline their full support for the secret partnership, which expanded to include more specialized training programs and the building of additional secret bases.” Given the attempt to place Trump in a negative light (he had to be ‘tiptoed around’…), it will be interesting to see how he and his campaign respond to the report. But more consequential will be the reaction of Putin and the Kremlin in the coming days.

So this shows that reports I was seeing or reading about were true that they provoked Russia into attacking the Ukraine to protect/defend people in that area that were asking Russia to help them from the attacks from the Ukraine government.

I see no mention of the culpable presidents. I imagine Bush, Clinton and Obama should figure into this!

 

[Bps1691]

The CIA is the most out of control alphabet agency of them all. It has been at the heart of un-American activities against the people of the republic since before the JFK termination.

They were at the heart of the war against trump and should have been remade like JFK wanted to do. After his termination, LBJ and the rest of the following presidents must have been in cahoots or scared to get them reigned in.

 

[greysage]

So when globalists and their minions cry, 'Russia Russia Russia.' It is with good reason. The United States of America has been the driving force behind the ethnic cleansing of native Russians on the UKR border with Russia. Project UKR is a dirty sh*thole and I hope every *ssclown that flew a UKR flag gets a taste of it.

 

[poppy]

I see no mention of the culpable presidents. I imagine Bush, Clinton and Obama should figure into this!

But one has to wonder if they even knew about it. Sure, they get briefings but our government is so out of control that the various agencies probably do lots of things the president is never told about.

 

[Mark D]

The overthrow of the Russian-backed government was pretty widely covered - it's just that most folks didn't understand HOW it was overthrown, or by who.

That the CIA has been actively involved ever since, comes as no surprise... Their famous, "crashed truck full of Vodka, to stop the Russian-backed thugs from reaching Kiev," operation, is still the stuff of legends.

Facing Catastrophic Consequences New York Times Now Outlines Construct of Ukraine as USA Proxy Province​

February 26, 2024 | Sundance | 241 Comments

I find it very interesting this report surfaces in the New York Times and not The Washington Post first. This material distinction showcases the motive for the outline is heavily domestic in nature; meaning, the core of domestic USA politics (specifically the White House) needs to admit that Ukraine is a proxy province in order to retrigger support for policy.

[Inside Baseball] – Watch the responses to this report from CNN (State Dept) carefully and watch the responses from WaPo (CIA/Intel). The more subtle and/or quiet the response(s), the more certain these influence institutions were collaborating on the material report to the New York Times.

The White House is admitting the CIA and larger IC apparatus, which includes the State Dept., has been heavily controlling all activity in Ukraine for the past decade. The only reason to admit this now very publicly is because they are losing voter support. THIS EXPLAINS WHY BIDEN IS CALLING FOR A WHITE HOUSE MEETING!!

The US’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) maintains 12 secret bases in Ukraine along the border with Russia, and last Thursday CIA chief William Burns made his 10th secret visit to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The Times is now reporting the USA (State Dept.) was responsible for the coup in Ukraine (color revolution) and took control over political operations in 2014. We have long suspected this; many have reported exactly this reality; however, this is the first time it has all been admitted.

[...] Source: The New York Times, based on more than 200 interviews with current and former officials in Ukraine, the United States and Europe.

The report tries to paint various Ukraine officials as the originators of the operation to use Ukraine as the tip of the spear against the Russia construct; however, it doesn’t take a deep weeds walker to realize that part of the narrative is needed to protect the U.S. foreign influence policy from public ridicule.

The White House needs support for their Ukraine proxy. The public opposition to that continued policy agenda is a problem. The politicians are caving to pressure from the people. The IC needs to change the narrative urgently; thus the admission takes place.

Tucker’s lastest interview with Mike Benz, also layouts in breathtaking detail how the CIA and NATO not only created schemes to rig elections all over the world, but also built whole industries around them basically giving billions to individuals to perfect the schemes. (if you haven't watched it, YOU SHOULD!)

CHAT - Tucker Carlson Ep. 75: The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States.

This is Tucker's most important interview yet, better than the Putin one IMHO. He interviews Mike Benz who is the leading expert on how the deep state coordinates a vast amount of censorship in the United States and in coordination with NATO "allies." I was absolutely riveted. We all knew this...

Never mentioned. Never much thought of. How many men, women, children, and babies on both sides died in this and other CIA operations? Stone cold bodies in the streets and the fields. How much US wealth and blood was wasted? How close have we come to all out WWIII because of this and other CIA atrocities? Satan laughing with delight the day the music died comes to mind.

Does anyone think these oath breaking asshats would have or do currently have any problem with turning their gun sights against the American people or corrupting the election process or murder most foul.

Victoria Nuland and her Ukrainian Biolab Congressional Testimony was pooh-poohed by all the Leftists.

"She's obviously wearing her foil hat."

Not so much perhaps? Victoria Nuland: Ukraine Has "Biological Research Facilities," Worried Russia May Seize Them

Claims that Ukraine currently maintains dangerous biological weapons labs came from Russia as well as China. The Chinese Foreign Ministry this month claimed: "The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone.” The Russian Foreign Ministry asserted that “Russia obtained documents proving that Ukrainian biological laboratories located near Russian borders worked on development of components of biological weapons.” Such assertions deserve the same level of skepticism as U.S. denials: namely, none of it should be believed to be true or false absent evidence. Yet U.S. fact-checkers dutifully and reflexively sided with the U.S. Government to declare such claims "disinformation” and to mock them as QAnon conspiracy theories.

This Nuland claim made a momentary splash in the MEEDIA when it first came out. I remember it being discussed on Bannon's War Room.

Search now and you find scant evidence of Nuland's testimony. Google (CIA) is as we write "covering it up."

Kind of like the 2020 deer in the headlights woman of Detroit's TCF Center covering the glass with paper to perform the vote fraud undetected. She's now been effectively "deleted" from the Internet.

I've explained and stated these things before, but I think they bear repeating:

I was - and am - vociferously anti-communist. The end of Russian communism and the fall of the Iron Curtain over thirty years ago was rightly a cause for celebration. We should have embraced the Russians and shown good-faith and genuine friendship towards that country. No, the Russians aren't perfect (and neither are we), but would the western world rather have a Putin in 2024 or a Brezhnev in 1967?

But, nooooo. Instead, since the fall of the Iron Curtain, we've done everything possible to make the Russians enemies and we've actively attempted to subvert their government(s) and have committed countless acts of war against them. Meanwhile, a real communist government, China, is still receiving most favored nation treatment!

Did you - or anyone on this board - vote to continue Cold War hostilities against Russia? Did you have a hand in the Zionist, war hawk's, foreign policy that continues to play this childish-but-deadly and potentially catastrophic game with a nuclear super power? Did anyone here vote to have perpetual animosity with Russia instead of a mature friendship with that country?

Again, in closing, I remain staunchly anti-communist, but I am not in the least anti-Russian and none of you should be, either!
