Ukraine's Covert Operations: CIA-Trained Agents Target Russian Collaborators

Ukraine's CIA-trained intelligence agencies have reportedly carried out targeted killings of "dozens" of Russians and Ukrainian collaborators since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to anonymous sources cited by The Washington Post. The missions were conducted by elite teams formed, trained, and equipped in partnership with the CIA, which has invested significant funds in transforming Ukraine's intelligence agencies since 2015. However, U.S. officials deny any direct involvement by the CIA in the assassinations. The targets included individuals such as Daria Dugina, daughter of pro-war ultranationalist Alexander Dugin, and a senior Russian draft officer. The SBU and GUR agencies also conducted drone strikes on Russian soil, including an attack on the Kremlin. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for these attacks, and the CIA and Ukrainian government declined to comment on the report.
