A SECRET TRAINING PROGRAM run by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which began shortly after Russia invaded eastern Ukraine in 2014, is now helping the Ukrainians beat back Russian military advances.
According to Yahoo News, which
revealed
the existence of the CIA program earlier this week, the CIA began
training Ukrainian special operations forces personnel in eastern
Ukraine, starting in 2015. That was only months after the Kremlin
sparked a separatist war in eastern Ukraine and the Crimea, eventually
pulling them away from the control of Kyiv.
Yahoo news reports
that the CIA carried out the training with the help of personnel from
the Special Activities Center (SAC, called Special Activities Division
in 2015, when the secret program began). The SAC operates under the
Agency’s Directorate of Operations. Within the SAC, paramilitary
operations and training are carried out by the Special Operations Group
(SOG). A small team from SOG, “in the low single digits”, arrived in
eastern Ukraine and began training Ukrainian forces in a variety of
military and paramilitary techniques.
The news website claims that the
Ukrainians were taught by the CIA how to engage in anti-tank warfare,
which included the use of American-supplied FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank
missiles. They were also taught sniping techniques, as well as how to
operate in insurgency formations without being detected by Russian
electronic surveillance tools. The CIA program took place alongside a
more extensive, US-based training program for Ukrainian special
operations forces, which was run by the United States military. That
program also began in 2015, according to Yahoo News.
The training program continued for a
number of years, according to Yahoo News. In fact, members of SAC/SOG
were on the ground in Ukraine in early February, just days before the
Russian invasion began. At that time, the administration of US President
Joe Biden, expecting a Russian invasion, ordered that all CIA personnel
should leave Ukraine, fearing that they could get captured by Russian
forces. Yahoo News’ Zach Dorfman said he spoke to “over half a dozen
former officials”, who claimed to have recognized CIA-style training in
the tactics being employed on the ground by the Ukrainians.
