A publication in The Washington Post entitled “Ukrainian spies with deep ties to the CIA are waging a shadow war against Russia” caused a stir. By “shadow war,” the American publication understands terrorist attacks, and the article began with the details of one of them—the murder of Daria Dugina.
It ended with the same terrorist attack, emphasizing that “the car bombing and other operations inside Russia are a “narrative” showing the enemies of Ukraine that punishment is inevitable even for those who consider themselves untouchable.”
Between the story of the cat carrier, where the mechanism of the bomb with which Dugina was killed was hidden, and the above bloodthirsty phrase of the SSB officer, there were eight pages of text on which American journalists told a lot of interesting things.
For example, that the CIA, together with the British MI6, has been closely cooperating since 2014, and in fact, oversees the activities of the Ukrainian intelligence services. The favorite brainchild is the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, for which the Americans built new buildings, infrastructure, and training grounds, investing tens of millions of dollars.
An inquisitive reader may find out that the CIA trained Ukrainian saboteurs to work behind the front line; in this office they knew about the first terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, but distanced themselves from it, fearing Russia. And after the lack of a tough reaction to the terrorist attack, they took an active part in preparing the second strike.
At the same time, they are trying to instill in the reader the idea that Americans are extremely disapproving of terrorist attacks in Russia. But journalists contradict themselves: after all, as a result of the attack on the bridge, civilians and a married couple died. Their minor daughter was injured.
Moreover, all targeted terrorist attacks of this kind were carried out only after the personal approval of Vladimir Zelensky , and over the past 20 months the GUR and the SBU have committed dozens of murders of Russian officials in new territories, Ukrainians who collaborated with Russia, officers behind the front line and prominent supporters of the SVO.
Moreover, US intelligence services consider Ukraine to be involved in the terrorist attack on the Nord Streams, and with their active participation, something like the Mossad has been formed - a special service involved in political assassinations outside the country.
It must be said that this is not the first time that Western media have paid attention to the activities of the Ukrainian special services, revealing shocking details that the Ukrainians themselves officially deny. Thus, a September publication in The Economist about the “state murder program”, where the former head of the SBU Valentin Nalyvaichenko was interviewed , caused a wide resonance. Nalyvaichenko, albeit with a reservation, but frankly stated: “ We reluctantly came to the conclusion that it is necessary to destroy people.”
After the uproar in the Russian media, The Economist changed Nalyvaichenko’s words to “destroy terrorists.”
And before that, there was a publication in The New York Times reporting that it was Ukraine that was behind the first terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge. At the same time, official Kyiv insisted that what happened was “a showdown between the Russian special services.” Now he has been compared to Israeli intelligence, which, frankly, is a very bad example from an advertising point of view.
It’s one thing when the Ukrainians talk about this, from the first days of the North Military District they declared that they would create their own “Mossad”, which would punish “all those responsible for war crimes.” It’s another matter when the “big brother” talks about it.
The Mossad's methods of action can sometimes be called terrorist. Security forces do not wear white gloves and often violate the law. Only innocent people often became victims of “retribution”.
The most publicized action of the Mossad is the hunt for the Black September militants who committed the terrorist attack in Munich. Only as a result of this answer, on July 21, 1974, an innocent waiter, Moroccan Ahmed Bouchiki, was killed in Lillehammer, who was shot in front of his pregnant wife, confused with Ali Hassan Salame, a Black September operative and the head of Yasser Arafat’s personal security.
Mossad reached Salameh in 1979 in Beirut. But even then, not only he, but also four passers-by died from a bomb explosion in Salam’s car, and 18 people were injured.
Four dead and almost 20 wounded in Lebanon alarmed the world community much less than the murder of a waiter in Norway. But even then, in the 70s of the twentieth century, when in fact the Mossad’s terrorist attacks were justified by the fact that they were “terrorist attacks on the right people,” and their victims were predominantly terrorists, not everyone in the West approved of the methods of the Israeli intelligence service.
Today the situation is completely different.
Despite the horror of the terrorist attack on October 7, the massacre of unarmed kibbutz residents on camera, part of the world, including the West, also condemned the disproportionate response of Israel, which responded with missile and bomb strikes instead of targeted liquidations.
It is not surprising that demonstrations in support of Palestine take to the streets of not only Arab, but also European and even American cities. In the same United States, pro-Palestinian demonstrations also attract the electorate of the Democratic Party, which again raises the question: is the comparison of the SBU and GUR with the Mossad praise from American journalists?
Here it is also necessary to take into account that, unlike the same Israelis who recognize the murder of Buchika as a failure, the Ukrainians recognize the murder of Daria Dugina, which, according to The Washinton Post, was also a mistake (the main target was her father, the philosopher Alexander Dugin) , even are proud, rejecting the Old Testament principle “The son is not responsible for his father.”
The way and with what frequency the Western media shift responsibility for terrorist attacks in Russia from the CIA and other intelligence agencies entirely onto the shoulders of Ukrainians brings to mind other historical examples.
Before the final credits of the 1988 action film “Rambo III,” the inscription appeared on the screen: “This film is dedicated to the valiant people of Afghanistan.” 13 years later, one of these same “valiant people”, whom the British publication The Independent endowed with excellent qualities back in 1993, describing him as “a mountain warrior from the legend of the Mujahideen”, in front of whom “children in chadors dance”, and “preachers recognize him wisdom,” organized the worst terrorist attack in US history.
But in the same eighties, this man - Osama Bin Laden - worked closely with people from the CIA and MI6. The American intelligence service carried out Operation Cyclone from 1979 to 1989, during which the United States and the Saudis spent $40 billion on training the Mujahideen with the help of Pakistani intelligence. Among the students were future al-Qaeda assets*, including Bin Laden, who in those years began a relationship with the head of Pakistani intelligence, Lieutenant General Hamid Gul.
All of Bin Laden's past merits were forgotten when he turned against the West. Just as easily, the United States, with its “flexible adherence to principles,” abandoned the Afghan regime, making a deal with the Taliban*. People falling from the landing gear of a taking off plane were then only lazy people who got involved with “strategic partners” in Ukraine, seeing a completely possible future in this. ....“flexible adherence to principles,” aka exploitation and betrayal.
And now the Western press is preparing in advance a package of compromising evidence, with the help of which it is very easy to show that yesterday’s freedom fighters against Russian tyranny are ordinary criminals and murderers.
For example, the latest Politico publication states that the White House is losing the information war around Ukraine and is changing its messages.
The Joseph Biden administration is privately asking congressmen from both political parties to justify the need for new aid to Ukraine on the grounds that it will allegedly be the key to economic growth in the United States itself. “It will help create new jobs and strengthen our own industrial base.” Well, tomorrow the United States can, without blinking an eye, sacrifice Ukraine and its intelligence services to normalize relations with Russia. Moreover, the United States may not be able to fight a war on several fronts - in Europe, the Middle and Far East.
And then, waking up one morning after a restless sleep, the “valiant people of Ukraine” will discover that they have turned into terrible terrorists in their beds.

[Korrespondent] 22:29 Russia still retains offensive capabilities and could achieve “certain tactical successes” in the coming months, said John Kirby, coordinator of the White House National Security Council.
21:12 Zaluzhny said that he held a meeting in large format with the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Armed Forces in Europe, the commander of the US Armed Forces in Europe, Christopher Cavoli, and the Chief of the British Defense Staff, Tony Radakin. We discussed the situation on the battlefield, offensive and defensive operations, and the current needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for shells, drones and military equipment. We separately discussed the key issues of strengthening air defense and covering critical infrastructure facilities in the autumn-winter period.
20:00 The United States is providing Ukraine with a new aid package worth $150 million , Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. It will, in particular, include additional ammunition for NASAMS and HIMARS, AIM-9M air defense missiles and shells.

19:25 The Ministry of Infrastructure claims that the ports of Greater Odessa continue to process ships that have passed through the temporary corridor, and information about the cancellation or stop of the temporary corridor is not true. All existing routes established by the Ukrainian Navy are valid and used by civilian vessels. Currently, 23 vessels are being loaded in the ports of Odessa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny.
In total, 51 vessels used the entry corridor, 33 vessels exported more than 1.3 million tons of Ukrainian agricultural products and other cargo.
18:02 Ukraine should receive new missiles with a range of 300 km and a warhead weight of 100 kg already in January, Voice of America journalist Miroslava Gongadze reports, citing a representative of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Sources also said that following the meeting between the Ukrainian military command and the allied command, the pace of arms supplies to Ukraine will not decrease.
17:03 The grain corridor in the Black Sea is currently not working due to the activity of Russian aviation, said Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of the Southern Defense Forces. According to her, two days ago Russian aviation dropped 35 unknown weapons along the route of the ships. "Today they dropped four more unknown devices in an apparent attempt to harm civilian shipping and discredit the Ukrainian Defense Forces," she added.
16:29 The Russian army launched an airstrike on the Berislavsky district of the Kherson region. One of the air bombs hit near the cafe, one person was killed, information about other victims is being clarified, the prosecutor's office said. In addition, according to OVA, the Russians attacked the Korabelny district of Kherson with a drone, and a policeman was injured.

16:03 Orban said that he wants to hold negotiations with Ukraine in Budapest to lift the veto on EU military aid worth 500 million euros: “We are waiting for the Ukrainian delegation to arrive in Budapest to negotiate on this. We are open and ready to negotiate.”
The Hungarian prime minister also emphasized that he does not plan to apologize for the meeting with Putin in Beijing and is proud of his strategy: “We have a very clear policy in this regard, which differs from the strategy of many others here. You have a war strategy, we have a peace strategy. And "We want to do everything to ensure there is peace. Therefore, we support all channels of communication with Russia, otherwise there will be no chance for peace. This is our strategy, and we are proud of it. We are the only ones who speak on behalf and for the sake of peace."

Their detailed reports on their areas, defensive and offensive actions, special tasks. Frank conversation on the most important topics. Reports by Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny, Minister Umerov, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region Budanov and Head of the SBU Malyuk. A plan of further actions with specific deadlines and calculations, supported by supplies from our partners and our own production. Increasing the capabilities of our defense industry."
14:36 Zelensky said that he had a telephone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Matte Frederiksen - thanked him for his help, and also “stated the importance of further long-term macroeconomic support for Ukraine.”
13:49 During two weeks of offensive operations in the area of Avdeevka and Maryinka, the Russian army lost up to 5,000 military personnel killed and wounded, and up to 400 armored vehicles were also destroyed, said Alexander Shtupun, spokesman for the Tauride Defense Forces.
12:54 Peskov called reports of arms supplies from the DPRK to Russia “groundless.” At the same time, he added that Moscow will continue to develop relations with Pyongyang “in all areas.”
12:08 The new Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico confirmed that he will not support military assistance to Ukraine: “It’s better to negotiate peace for ten years than to kill each other for ten years without results.” He also said that Slovakia stands for peace in Ukraine, but “Russia and the United States must agree.” According to Fico, the EU “from a supplier of weapons to Ukraine must turn into a peacemaker.”
10:49 South Korea, Japan and the United States in a joint statement condemned the supply of weapons and military equipment from North Korea to Russia. They also said they had confirmation of "several" such shipments. The statement says that the DPRK requires military assistance from the Russian Federation to strengthen its own military capabilities in exchange for armed support.
10:12 In the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, in the village of Tishanka, Volokonovsky district, ammunition was dropped from a UAV; as a result of the attack, an infrastructure communications facility was damaged, said Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.

Experts made such conclusions based on an analysis of satellite images provided by a Ukrainian reserve officer. The majority of Russian losses are armored combat vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and vehicles.
The Ukrainian officer who provided the images also stated that the losses of Russian equipment in the Avdeevka area exceeded the Russian losses during the unsuccessful crossing of the Seversky Donets in May 2022 and will likely exceed the losses in the Ugledar area between November 2022 and April 2023.
ISW also added that two other independent sources estimate the losses of Russian forces near Avdievka at approximately 200 military vehicles.

[NewsFront] 23:30 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for October 23, as of 23:30, we received additional information on civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:
Donetsk (Kalininsky district): - on the street. Karpinsky, 25, another man born in 1983 was injured.
n.p. Yasinovataya: – in the Molodezhny quarter, 5 – a man born in 1964 was wounded.
Additional information has been received about damage as a result of shelling by the AFU in the cities of the Republic: n. Yasinovataya: – Molodezhny block, 5 – multi-apartment residential building. Information about the consequences of the shelling continues to arrive.
21:50 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Battle for Avdievka: envelopment of the Avdievka fortified area from the south, the situation towards the end October 26, 2023
Russian troops continue the operation to envelop and block the Avdeevka fortified area.
After the RF Armed Forces secured the "terricone" (ash dump of the Avdeevka coke plant), the Armed Forces of Ukraine unsuccessfully tried to recapture what they had lost. Control over a tactically advantageous height makes it possible to keep both Avdievka itself and the approaches to it under surveillance.
The Russian Armed Forces are attacking bypassing the waste heap towards the plant itself.
Another group of troops began assault operations from Yasinovataya: they managed to get close to the Donetsk filtration station, which had been turned into a powerful fortified area.
To the south, through the joint efforts of several brigades of the Russian army, a breakthrough was made from the Opytnoye-Spartak line. Despite the dense mining, Russian troops occupied a landing site 1.5 km from the Khimik microdistrict.
From the south, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces bypassed the Ukrainian Armed Forces fortified area at the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center along the DKAD and blocked the dilapidated base of Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners. Their supply has been cut off, since the approaches are under fire control of the Russian Armed Forces. Members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces complain about the lack of assistance, demanding that reinforcements be sent.
The position of the Ukrainian group in Avdievka has deteriorated greatly. Because of this, the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was transferred in full force from the Zaporozhye direction. From the Pervomaisky side, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to attack the flank, drawing in the 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
Several more Ukrainian brigades from various directions are expected in the coming days. This creates ideal conditions for a counteroffensive by the Russian Armed Forces in other sectors of the front, where the lines will be exposed.
And in Avdievka, one of the key factors in holding and further covering the suburbs of Donetsk is the early destruction of suitable reserves even before they enter the battle.
21:20 RF Ministry of Defense: Today at around 19.30 an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack by an aircraft-type UAV on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped.

In the Kherson-Crimean direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the support of artillery, continued to attempt an offensive near Poima and Peschanivka. The goal is to break through to the intersection of the M-14 and M-17 highways. The first is rocking, the second is supplying.

[Regnum] The Federal Security Service (FSB) prevented a terrorist attack at the military commissariat in Tver, the intelligence service's Public Relations Center reported on October 26.
The department clarified that the terrorist attack was planned by the Ukrainian special services with the participation of a Russian citizen who was a member of the Ukrainian nationalist formation.
According to the FSB, an agent of the Ukrainian special services collected and transmitted data on military and fuel and energy facilities in the region for money. A cache of weapons and explosives was prepared in advance for him to blow up the military registration and enlistment office in Tver.
During the arrest, the security service added, the attacker offered armed resistance and was neutralized. Homemade explosives and an RGD-5 grenade were seized at the scene.
“None of the civilians or security officials were injured,” the FSB emphasized.
A criminal case has been initiated under Part 1 of Article 30 and Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of Russia.
As Regnum reported , on October 17, FSB officers detained a resident of Crimea, who was recruited by the Ukrainian special services. He provided one of the representatives of the Ukrainian special services with data on the socio-political, economic and military situation in Crimea. Carrying out an assignment from Ukrainian curators, he organized hiding places in Crimea. When a package with an explosive device was removed from the cache, he was detained.
On October 16, a resident of the Kurgan region was detained for collaborating with a Ukrainian organization banned in Russia. He initiated cooperation in March with this organization acting against the security of Russia.
On instructions from Ukrainian curators, he was supposed to distribute anti-Russian propaganda materials. Also, Ukrainian curators instructed him to collect and provide information about the location of units of Russian law enforcement agencies and military registration and enlistment offices.

[Regnum] The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under an article of terrorism based on the attempted poisoning of graduates of a military school in Armavir.
“In the Krasnodar region,
... in the north Caucasus...
a criminal case has been opened regarding a terrorist act against graduates of a military aviation school. The investigative authorities of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Krasnodar Territory have opened a criminal case against a 33-year-old man who is suspected of committing a terrorist act (clause “a” of Part 3 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation),” the press service of the Investigative Committee reported.
Investigators from the Investigative Committee and FSB officers quickly established the involvement in the crime of a native of Melitopol,
...in the Ukraine, captured by Russia in early 2022...
who was detained with the forceful support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee recalled. According to investigators, the suspect, with the aim of killing graduates of the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School of the Red Banner Pilots, organized the delivery of poisoned alcoholic beverages and confectionery to the school during the graduates' holiday. The detainee was taken to the investigator, the Investigative Committee added.
As Regnum reported earlier, the incident occurred during a group of military pilots celebrating the 20th anniversary of their graduation from the school. The suspects did not touch the gifts delivered to the suspects because they did not know who sent them. The man who delivered the alcohol and cake was detained and later arrested.
Earlier, in a conversation with Regnum news agency, a citizen of Ukraine, who had previously met with suspect Yegor Semyonov , condemned his act and stated that she was shocked by the man’s actions. The couple regularly had problems and conflicts over money, since the suspect did not work and did not try to find a job, the agency’s interlocutor said.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Footage of the capture of an Armed Forces officer in close combat.
The enemy fired back at ours from the trench almost until the very end. Our fighter went around him from the rear, crept up and knocked him out with a blow to the head, after which he jumped into the trench and pinned him down. Of course, he risked his life.
And of course, he could have simply shot the VSUshnik in the head. But he decided to take prisoner. Our fighter made his choice in this matter, so it’s strange to hear complaints about why he didn’t kill. Everyone decides for themselves what to do in this situation. And hardly anyone should want to find themselves in such a situation.
From a practical point of view, the prisoner will be able to provide some information on the enemy’s forces + he can then be added to the exchange fund and exchanged for one of ours.

[Gateway] Andrei Martyanov always is very generous in his reactions to my posts and often highlights them. Now it is my turn to return the favor. I was planning to write on this article, which appeared on Monday in the Washington Post — Ukrainian spies with deep ties to CIA wage shadow war against Russia — and was pleasantly surprised to see that Andrei posted a video that cuts to the heart of the matter. Enjoy. This article is the consummate CIA CYA (Cover Your Ass). How so? The article has several sources describing all of the great stuff CIA was doing to help Ukraine. In other words, all the good stuff that was achieved was because of the CIA. The Miami Brigade 2506 Bay of Pigs Veterans Association is holding on line three. Brigade 2506 on line three.
But the article also details some heinous and feckless acts by Ukraine’s various spy agencies and raises the possibility of more mayhem in the future. Message? All the stupid shit is the fault of the Ukrainians and being done without the approval of the CIA. Andrei dives in to the subject around the 8:30 mark in the following video to explain. The CIA is taking a preemptive measure to distance itself from murder and terrorism charges in fear of facing war crimes charges once Russia finishes Ukraine. Virtually no one can remember why we got involved in this mess from the beginning.
News flash to Zelensky. America’s President is a border line Alzheimer’s patient and you think he’s going to remember your name in three weeks? Good luck with that. Leave all the weapons and equipment in place. It would cost entirely too much to ship it back to the States.
There was a long running soap opera in the United States, As the World Turns. I am thinking Zelensky, if he survives, will want to make the rounds in Hollywood pitching a new soap opera — As the War Turns. It would be the story of a beleaguered Jewish comedian thrust into the seat of power, backed up by Nazi hordes, acquiescing to be the sock puppet of a malevolent Uncle Sam in exchange for a steady supply of Colombian cocaine and bags of cash. You don’t even have to be a great script writer to produce entertaining content from this set up. The truth of the last 20 months is truly stranger than fiction. Maybe this is more like an international version of Yellowstone. The good news? Casting is a breeze, Zelensky can play himself. Please let yourself out the backdoor.
#6
After all the snafus since the end of WWII, you'd think guys like Zelensky would get wise.
Upper management did, and they will take it to the bank. Its the leadership directly under them who thought they, too, would get pie and went along with the plan and got everyone killed.

[Korrespondent] The Clooney Foundation for Justice, the charity of lawyer Amal Clooney and her husband, Hollywood actor George Clooney, has asked German prosecutors to investigate three counts of alleged war crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine.
The applications were submitted to the German prosecutor's office, since German law enshrines the principle of universal jurisdiction - the country's law enforcement agencies can begin a criminal investigation into crimes committed outside Germany, regardless of the citizenship of the suspects or victims or whether any of them have ties to Germany. Moreover, in these three cases specifically, some families of the victims or victims live in Germany, while others are ready to come and testify in the country.
The suspects are senior and middle-level commanders of the Russian army.
COLLECTION OF EVIDENCE
CFJ represents 16 victims and victims' families.
Since the beginning of the war, Docket, a separate project of the foundation consisting of international lawyers and investigators, has been collecting evidence and preparing materials detailing crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine.
Their work included numerous field investigations in Ukraine, as well as extensive analysis of open source data.
As the foundation explains, if German authorities consider the evidence presented against specific people to be convincing, they can open a criminal investigation and issue arrest warrants for the suspects, which will allow them to be detained, extradited and prosecuted. Arrest warrants can be executed in countries outside Germany through the Europol and Interpol systems. The International Criminal Court can also issue arrest warrants for key suspects.
German courts occupy a leading position in the world in investigating international crimes in accordance with the principle of universal jurisdiction. They were investigating crimes committed by the Islamic State group against the Yazidis, an ethno-religious minority in Iraq.
WHAT KIND OF CASES
The first case concerns the shelling of the village of Sergeevka in the Odessa region with X-22 missiles in the summer of 2022, which killed 22 people and injured 40 more. As noted in the collected dossier, they were all civilians, and there were no military installations around. The victims are relatives of the 11 victims, as well as three survivors, two of whom are children. According to the foundation, the use of Kh-22 missiles, which have low accuracy and high power, may be classified as prohibited methods of warfare. The high command of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation may be responsible for this.
The second case concerns the detention, torture and murder of four men in the Kharkov region. They were detained in March 2022 by the forces of the self-proclaimed “LPR”, after which nothing was known about their fate for a long time, and a few months later their bodies were discovered. The victims are the families of the three killed, and the suspects are four commanders of the “LPR” and Russian army units who controlled the surrounding territory.
The third case concerns murders, torture, sexualized violence and robberies in March 2022 in the Kyiv region. The case records the murders of at least 28 people, five cases of rape, and the torture of eight people. The victims in the case include the family of one of the killed and a man who was detained and tortured, and five Russian commanders who led units that participated in the occupation are suspected of crimes.
