Kremlin responds to CIA ‘revelations’ 26 Feb, 2024

It’s no secret that the US is training people in Ukraine for subversive work against Russia, Dmitry Peskov has said

The US has long been working in Ukraine to prepare operatives for subversive work against Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday. His comments came after the New York Times claimed the CIA has been actively involved in Ukraine since the 2014 Maidan coup.

“The work of so-called American advisers, most of whom departmentally belonged to the CIA, is well known,” Peskov told TASS when asked to comment on the NYT article published on Sunday.

These people “occupied jobs in the building of the presidential administration of Ukraine… this is not a secret,” the Kremlin spokesman added.

According to Peskov, the CIA and other US agencies began operating in Ukraine long before 2014, actively recruiting people and preparing them for “subversive work against our country.”

In its report, the NYT claimed that the CIA has turned Ukraine into a major asset to spy on Russia since the Maidan coup. It further alleged that the US has funded and organized a network of secret bases throughout Ukraine, making Kiev part of a “secret coalition” against Moscow.

According to NYT journalists, Ukraine currently hosts at least 12 spy bases that actively gather information on Russia, eavesdrop on its military communications, coordinate drone strikes, hack into Russian, Belarusian and Chinese satellites, and manage a network of agents inside Russia itself.

Back in October, the Washington Post also reported that the CIA had invested “tens of millions” of dollars in Ukraine since 2014 to transform Kiev’s spy agencies into “potent allies against Moscow.” The outlet stated that US intelligence services maintain a “significant presence” in Kiev to this day, even as the Ukrainian Security Service has carried out “dozens of assassinations against Russian officials, alleged collaborators, military officers and prominent war supporters,” such as journalist Daria Dugina, who was killed in August 2022.

Moscow, meanwhile, has repeatedly described increased US activity on Ukrainian territory, as well as Kiev’s NATO aspirations, as threats to its national security and one of the key reasons for launching its military operation in February 2022.

Ukraine on another retreat in Donbass – media 25 Feb, 2024

Kiev’s forces reportedly withdrew from the village of Lastochkino to safeguard their supply lines and conserve manpower

Ukrainian troops have abandoned the settlement of Lastochkino, a few kilometers west of the strategic city of Avdeevka recently captured by Russian troops, the local outlet Strana reported on Saturday citing Ukraine’s military.

The website cited a Ukrainian volunteer fighting with the neo-Nazi Aidar battalion as saying that units had to withdraw from the area to “avoid the blocking of their logistical routes” and to “save personnel.” The Ukrainian Telegram channel DeepState confirmed the development, wondering where the Ukrainian high command would announce the preparation of a new defensive line.

Several Russian Telegram channels claimed that Moscow’s troops had already entered Lastochkino, posting unverified pictures and a video of soldiers waving a Russian flag in the middle of the devastated settlement.

Neither the Russian nor Ukrainian Defense Ministries have confirmed the reports. However, officials in Moscow said on Saturday that the Russian military “continued to occupy more advantageous… positions” in the Avdeevka sector while repulsing Ukrainian counterattacks.

Moscow announced the capture of Avdeevka last weekend, which has been a frontline city since 2014. It claimed that the Ukrainian retreat had turned into a disorganized rout with heavy losses. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky called the decision to withdraw “absolutely logical,” insisting that it was necessary to avoid heavier casualties.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that the capture of Avdeevka was “certainly a success,” adding that it needed to be expanded upon.

The Avdeevka area was previously used by Kiev as a launching ground for attacks on Donetsk, the capital of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The Defense Ministry in Moscow previously said that the capture would help protect the latter city from “terrorist attacks by the criminal Kiev regime.”

The DPR, along with three other former Ukrainian regions, overwhelmingly voted to become part of Russia in the autumn of 2022 in public referendums.

Key Incidents Involving NATO Warships & Aircraft Near Russia's Borders Yesterday

After the Ukraine conflict intensified, warships from the United States and other NATO countries increased provocative forays into the Black Sea. There has also been a surge in incidents involving NATO aircraft flying near Russia's maritime borders over the past few years.

Russia has dismissed accusations recently levelled by Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu of having “threatened” French planes in the Black Sea.
Alexey Chepa, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, underscored that Russia has never behaved “aggressively,” and invariably acts within international rules and flight assignments.
Sebastien Lecornu appeared on French radio RTL, claiming that, "A month ago, a Russian air traffic control system threatened to shoot down French aircraft in the Black Sea, even though we were in the internationally free zone in which we patrol."
In another incident dredged up by Lecornu, a Russian warship purportedly anchored in Baie de Seine, off northern France, at the edge of the country's territorial waters in a bid to "intimidate" France. He also accused Moscow of allegedly adopting an increasingly “aggressive stance" and "playing with the thresholds."

It should be noted that amid the escalation of the Ukraine conflict, there has been a surge in incidents when US and NATO warships have entered the waters of the Black Sea. In 2021, NATO sent over 30 warships to the area, breaking its own “record” that had held since 2014. There has also been an increase in incidents involving NATO aircraft flying near Russia's maritime borders, from the Barents and Baltic seas in the north and west, to the Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk in Russia's Far East. From the opening days of Moscow's special military operation in Ukraine, the Black Sea has been a focal point of the NATO-led proxy war against Russia.
The fresh allegations by the French minister prompted Sputnik to take a look at provocative incidents involving NATO warships and aircraft near Russia's borders over the past few years.

• The CIA's Secret Ten Year War On Russia...From Within Ukraine!:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=sRqP4XLhqak

The New York Times came out with a bombshell article on Sunday detailing the past ten years of CIA active warfare from within Ukraine against Russia. From building 12 CIA bases within the country, to instructing on sabotage inside Russia to providing targeting intelligence BEFORE the 2022 Russian military operation in Ukraine. And...much of the operation was kept secret from then-President Trump!

@WarClandestine
In case you didn’t hear, the MSM are now admitting that Ukraine is a CIA proxy.

Meaning Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was NOT unprovoked, and that the US are the expansionists, overthrowing sovereign nations for geopolitical gain.

The US brought war to Putin’s doorstep.

Meaning that every single thing Western media told you about the war in Ukraine, was based on a lie. All the analysis you heard from pompous MSM talking-heads, was based on the presumption that Putin did this unprovoked, just because he is “literally Hitler”. None of it was true.

Turns out, Putin’s accusations of Western intelligence controlling Ukraine were correct, therefore his attack is more than justified. Just imagine if Russia funded Nazi militias in Canada, started a civil war, overthrew the government, then installed their own puppet regime, then put Russian intelligence bases and biolabs all over our northern border. Every American would be calling to flatten Canada and Russia. Well that’s exactly what the US did to Russia, and they are pissed.

Russia tried to join NATO, they were denied. Russia tried to negotiate non-violent means to resolve the conflict, they were denied. Russia tried to present their grievances of US bioweapon production and espionage to the UN, they were denied. Russia tried to go the diplomatic route, and the West just cried “Russian disinformation”, while they were the ones pushing disinformation.

The West also went out of their way to censor independent journalists like me who have been telling you this from day one, because if the public knew this detail the entire time, they wouldn’t have supported sending our tax dollars there.

This is going to be a tough pill to swallow for many Americans, but Russia are not the bad guys in this scenario. The West are, and it’s not even close.

The sooner we all recognize this, the sooner we can clean up the mess.

Even Ukrainian media now admits Navalny's death was of natural causes, i.e. blood clot. Will this ever be announced on western mainstream media?

Hopefully, @TuckerCarlson comments.

russian style interrogation

I think, as best I know, you may be describing Soviet style interrogation, but not anything that would be done by the Russians today.

This was at the top of Zero Hedge's news reports today:

First M1 Abrams Tank Destroyed in Ukraine Shortly after Appearance on Battlefield

Russian forces claim they have successfully destroyed an American-supplied M1 Abrams main battle tank for the first time, coming two full years into the Ukraine war, outside the captured city of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region.

The US-made advanced tank was reportedly taken out by a kamikaze drone or loitering munition launched by Russia's 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade. Russian state media accounts made the announcement Monday and published video purporting to show the destruction of the M1 Abrams main battle tank.



Russian media: "A close-up of the destroyed Abrams taken by a surveillance drone shows the vehicle’s ammunition compartment burned-out."Footage circulating online purports to show the vehicle with a large column of fire rising from its turret," RT wrote. "It was reportedly targeted by a FPV suicide drone and sustained at least one hit from a shoulder-mounted anti-tank grenade launcher."

The attack is said to have happened in or near the village of Berdychi, which lies northwest of Avdeevka. Ukraine forces are reportedly in retreat from the city after Russia's recent capture of it last week.

The introduction of Western main battle tanks into Ukraine appears to have made little or no actual difference in giving Ukraine a tactical advantage.

Instead, starting last spring Russian media widely circulated images showing German-made Leopard 2 tanks burning. And then in September the first UK-supplied Challenger 2 was destroyed.

Below: the widely circulating new footage purporting to show the first destruction of an Abrams main battle tank in Ukraine..

https://twitter.com/i/status/1762111946357080140

So to some degree, these tanks being lost in battle has become a humiliation for Ukraine's Western backers, and is at the same time an immense PR victory for the Russians.

Ironically it was only last Friday that Business Insider reported on the first Abrams spotting on the battlefield:

Newly released video footage offers a first look at the heavy US-made Abrams tank in combat in Ukraine.
When the US delivered the tanks to Ukraine last fall, it added significant capabilities to Ukraine's ground forces. It comes with challenges as well, but the American-made tank is widely considered to be among the most capable in the world.

Only last Friday...

https://twitter.com/i/status/1761025618030760359

Over a year ago the Kremlin warned: "If a decision to transfer to Kiev M1 Abrams is made, American tanks without any doubt will be destroyed as all other samples of NATO military equipment." Other Russian officials have since warned that Abrams tanks will "burn" on the battlefield, according to TASS.

Ukraine has reportedly received 31 Abrams tanks in total, but there are reports not all of them have been deployed to the battlefield yet. Ukrainian operators had to undergo at least six months to a year of specialized training from US advisers, but it's also possible these tanks were prematurely rushed to the battlefield with crews unprepared for direct battle.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 27 February 2024; pub. 08:01⚡️

🔹In the #Zaporozhye direction, the RF Armed Forces, supported by artillery, continued offensives from the west and south on the village of #Rabotino. The AFU is ⚠️holding their positions.

🔹On the Donetsk Front, Russian forces were active on most of the frontline. After shelling the enemy with long range weapons, they attacked in #Novomikhaylovka, on the eastern outskirts of the town of #Krasnogorovka, in the area of #Nevelskoye and #Pervomayskoye. Here the frontline ⚠️did not change significantly. But similar actions of the RF Armed Forces west of #Avdeyevka led to a ⚠️breakthrough in #Tonenkoye (Thin). Here, as they say, it's "on the thin". It is thin for the AFU, but it has not yet broken. To the north, after massive shelling, Russian troops established ⚠️control over the village of #Lastochkino and entered #Orlovka.
📌 Both settlements were logistically important for the AFU. Now, given the proximity of #Avdeyevka and #Donetsk, the RF Armed Forces have the upper hand.
▪️ The Russian forces' attack on #Berdychi was ⚠️unsuccessful.

🔹In the #Bakhmut Direction, the RF Armed Forces continued their assault on the heights northwest of #Kleshcheyevka and in #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye). The AFU ⚠️hold their positions.

🔹In the #Lugansk Direction, Russian troops, supported by long range weapons, attacked near #Terny. They also ⚠️tried to advance in #Tabayevka and #Sinkovka.
💥 The AFU is under fire in #Belogorovka, #Serebryanka and #Torskoye.
