Russian media: US China Intelligence Agency recruits foreigners to participate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict US Central Intelligence Agency | Ukraine | US Central Intelligence Agency

On July 2nd, the website of the Russian newspaper "Viewpoint" reported that the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States has recently started recruiting foreign mercenaries for the Ukrainian military in countries such as Syria and Iraq. On the same day, Ukrainian President Zelensky revealed in an interview with US media that Ukraine maintains close cooperation with US intelligence agencies and has "no secrets" to the US Central Intelligence Agency.

According to reports, Russian military and diplomatic sources stationed in Damascus have stated that the US is negotiating with the Syrian Kurdish armed "People's Protection Forces" and several Arab tribal leaders to recruit mercenaries for a monthly amount of approximately $2000.

The report also mentioned that at the end of May this year, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency revealed that the Tanfu military base in southern Syria had been used by the US military to train armed militants and planned to be sent to Russia to carry out terrorist attacks afterwards. According to Türkiye's media, mercenaries from the "People's Protection Force" have been fighting in Ukraine since the spring of 2022. Western experts say that there are currently about one or two thousand members of the People's Protection Force in Ukraine. It is understood that besides Syria, the recruitment of foreign mercenaries is also being carried out among pro American armed groups in Iraq.

After the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has been actively recruiting foreigners to participate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Last summer, several Russian media outlets revealed that the US Department of Defense is training former Afghan pilots who were evacuated with the US military in August 2021 in California. These pilots are capable of flying a large number of Soviet made fighter jets owned by the Ukrainian military, and the US military plans to send them into Ukraine to fight against the Russian military.

President of Ukraine: Ukraine has "no secrets" with the CIA in the United States

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated in an interview with CNN on the 2nd that Ukraine has maintained close cooperation with US intelligence agencies and has "no secrets" to the CIA. At the beginning of last month, CIA Director Burns secretly visited Ukraine. The Washington Post reported, citing sources, that the US had promised to continue sharing intelligence that would assist the Ukrainian military in conducting military operations.

Netizen: US intelligence agencies are notorious for their misconduct

In view of the deep involvement of the CIA in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, some netizens said that the US intelligence agency represented by the CIA is full of bad deeds, and if it is involved, it is likely to suffer in the end.

The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States is the source of many crimes.

In the Afghanistan war, the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency can also be seen, and in fact, the CIA can be seen in every failed military adventure by the United States.

The consistent operation of US intelligence agencies is to fund terrorists and disrupt regional stability, and this model has been repeated in the Middle East and Africa for half a century.

Director of the CIA: Now is a great opportunity to recruit Russian spies

In addition to supporting Ukraine and continuing to inflame the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States Central Intelligence Agency has been trying to weaken Russia in various ways. Recently, a statement by CIA Director Burns has attracted public attention. He made no secret of saying that the Russia-Ukraine conflict provided the CIA with an excellent opportunity to recruit spies, and the CIA would not miss the opportunity.

CIA Director Burns: The current situation has created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, and we will not waste this opportunity in vain. We are currently using social media to recruit spies.

Russian officials: Americans have been recruiting spies all along

Regarding Burns' remarks, Sergei Chekov, a member of the International Affairs Committee of the Federal Council of Russia, responded that no one would be surprised by the spy recruitment plan proposed by the CIA director, as Americans have always done so before. A year ago, two months after the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the CIA published a public post on social media, telling potential Russian informants how to contact the CIA anonymously via encryption on the so-called "secret network" and how to avoid being discovered by the Russian security department.

Russian public opinion: The United States openly recruits spies in an attempt to disrupt the hearts of the Russian people

In the middle of May this year, the CIA released videos on "Telegraph", Twitter and other platforms to incite some Russians to contact the United States through Internet channels. In addition, during the month of video release, the Federal Bureau of Investigation took action by directing social media to push Russian language advertisements recruiting Russian spies to users near the Russian Embassy in the United States through location information. Russian public opinion believes that American intelligence agencies are blatantly guiding Russians to defect to the United States, and that US actions against Russia are becoming increasingly brutal and dangerous.

Russian officials reveal that the United States has repeatedly attempted to "plot against" Russian diplomats

According to Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Zabolotskaya, last month, US intelligence agencies not only advertise spy recruitment on video websites and social media, but also attempt to establish contact with Russian diplomats on the streets and airports. Promotional flyers with similar content are regularly posted near the work routes and residential areas of Russian diplomats. In response to the actions of US intelligence agencies, Russia has also improved relevant domestic legislation to strengthen its response. In April this year, Russian President Putin signed an amendment to the criminal law, which stipulates that those who commit treason can be sentenced to up to life imprisonment. Previously, the maximum sentence for this charge was 20 years.

Thieves shout to catch thieves. America is the true "hacker empire"

For many years, the CIA has frequently recruited overseas spies. The targeted countries not only include the so-called "unfriendly countries" they identify, but also include allies of the United States. Ironically, the CIA continues to carry out espionage and espionage activities around the world, but always likes to portray itself as a victim, attempting to mislead the international community. In many European countries, the reputation of American intelligence agencies is very bad. The New York Times cited the CIA's surveillance of Germany as an example, which led to large-scale protests in Berlin; The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also summoned the US Ambassador to France regarding the surveillance of the French President by the US National Security Agency.
