An interesting article in the #NewOrcTimes about the hard path to cooperation between the #CIA and #Ukrainian secret services - #SBU and #HUR.
But there's a catch - they have unironically interviewed the disgraced SBU chief #Bakanov, who is suspected of collaboration with #Russia before the full-scale invasion of #Ukraine. There is no mention of the accusations or other SBU traitors.

#Ukraine & #CIA have #spy bases at 12 secret places near the Russian border... and the CIA trained Ukrainian troops to seize #Russian drones for reverse engineering and encryption cracking... ... Examples of the #us rapidly developing intel partnership with #Ukraine over the last decade. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html

@JSharp1436 @noelreports #Zelensky demonstrated good leadership during first months of the full-scale invasion, when he stayed in the country and led #resistance.
But before that, he was just a peacenik who believed in 2019, after 5 years of #RussianWar, that he could make a deal with Putin and bring peace to #Ukraine. He dismantled Ukrainian defence industry in 2019-2021 and ignored warnings of impeding #invasion relying on #traitors like #Bakanov.
Vice Prime Minister of #Ukraine, Iryna #Vereshchuk, is a long-time member of esoteric sect #AllatRa, sort of like #Scientology, but with #Putin as a deity.
#SBU and police have recently raided offices of the sect and blocked its activities. But, high-ranking members, like #Bakanov and Vereshchuk are still at large. https://m.censor.net/en/photo_news/3453130/police_and_ssu_blocked_activities_of_allatra_pseudoreligious_sect_to_which_bakanov_and_vereshchuk_belonged?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=%5Btwitter%5D&utm_campaign=%5Brogue_corq%5D

"Passo dopo passo, avanziamo, interrompiamo i rifornimenti per gli occupanti, identifichiamo e neutralizziamo i #collaboratori. La prospettiva è ovvia: la bandiera #ucraina sarà in tutte le nostre città e villaggi. L'unica domanda riguarda il tempo", ha detto #Zelensky, informando che è in corso "l'audit del personale" all'interno dei servizi segreti dopo la sospensione a sorpresa di Ivan #Bakanov, suo amico d'infanzia, con accuse legate al tradimento.
