NEWSWEEK reveals. Simply put, they prepared, discussed, and implemented this Ukrainian war... Like at Yalta...
CIA played a key role in the war even before it started. At the beginning of his administration, Biden appointed director William Burns as his global strategist for issues - a secret operator capable of communicating with foreign leaders outside normal channels, someone who could occupy an important geopolitical space between the overt and covert structure, and an official who could organize work in the existing arena between what is strictly military and what is strictly civilian. As a former ambassador to Russia, Burns had a special influence on Ukraine. CIA monitored the development of Russia and in November 2021, three months before the invasion, Biden sent Burns to Moscow to warn the Kremlin of the consequences of any attack. Although the Russian president disregarded Biden's envoy, remaining in seclusion in Sochi on the Black Sea, 800 miles away, he agreed to talk to Burns over the secure Kremlin telephone. "However, in an ironic way, the meeting was very successful," says a second senior intelligence official who was briefed on it. Despite Russia's invasion, both countries were able to accept established rules of the road. The United States will not fight directly or seek regime change, the Biden administration promised. Russia would limit its attack to Ukraine and operate according to unspoken but well-understood guidelines for covert operations. "There are secret rules of the road," says a senior defense intelligence official, "even if they are not codified on paper, especially when the war is not one of annihilation." This includes: - Observing the boundaries of everyday espionage, - Not crossing certain boundaries, - Not attacking other leaders or diplomats. "Overall, the Russians respect these global red lines, even if these lines are invisible," says the official. Behind the scenes, dozens of countries had to be convinced to accept the limitations of the Biden administration. "Some of these countries, including the United Kingdom and Poland, are willing to take greater risks than the White House accepts." Others, including some of Ukraine's neighbors, do not fully share the American and Ukrainian ardor for the conflict, lack unanimous societal support for their anti-Russian efforts, and do not want to antagonize Putin. Now, over a year after the invasion, the United States maintains two vast networks, one public and one secret. Ships deliver goods to ports in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland, and these deliveries are then transported by road, rail, and air to Ukraine. However, a secret fleet of commercial aircraft ("gray fleet") secretly cuts through Central and Eastern Europe, carrying weapons and supporting CIA operations. A senior administration official said that a significant portion of the network has been effectively kept secret and it is a mistake to assume that the Russian intelligence knows the details of the CIA's efforts. Washington believes that if the delivery route were known, Russia would attack key nodes and routes, the official said. None of this can be maintained without serious counterintelligence efforts to thwart Russian espionage, the routine work of the Agency. Russian intelligence is very active in Ukraine, intelligence experts say, and it is assumed that almost everything the US provides to Ukraine also goes to Russian intelligence. Other Eastern European countries are equally full of Russian spies and sympathizers, especially frontline states. Prepared by: Robert Brzoza Source: newsweek.com Attention!
