US special operations forces are on the ground in Ukraine as part of a broad covert operation that includes CIA personnel, The Intercept reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed US intelligence and military officials.
The report said that the US withdrew its CIA and special operations assets from Ukraine shortly before Russia’s invasion, although one US official said the CIA “never completely left.”
The CIA initially predicted that Kyiv would fall quickly to Russia, but after it became clear that wouldn’t happen, the Biden administration sent its covert assets back into Ukraine.
The report said that US clandestine operations inside Ukraine “are now far more extensive than they were early in the war, when US intelligence officials were fearful that Russia would steamroll over the Ukrainian army.”
Several current and former intelligence officials said that there “is a much larger presence of both CIA and US special operations personnel and resources in Ukraine than there were at the time of the Russian invasion in February.”
Back in June, The New York Times reported that there was a CIA presence in Ukraine, but it made no mention of US special operations forces. The Times report did say that several US allies have special operations troops in Ukraine, including Britain, France, Canada, and Lithuania.
The Intercept report said the covert operations inside Ukraine are being conducted under a covert presidential finding that indicates President Biden has quietly notified Congress of a “broad program of clandestine operations inside the country.”
The Intercept buried this story's actual scoop: that "clandestine American operations inside Ukraine are now far more extensive than they were early in the war," with "a much larger presence of both CIA and U.S. special operations personnel" now than in February. https://t.co/eQcsc7cu5o

The report said that the finding President Biden is using is an altered version of a finding originally during the Obama administration:
“One former special forces officer said that Biden amended a preexisting finding, originally approved during the Obama administration, that was designed to counter malign foreign influence activities. A former CIA officer told The Intercept that Biden’s use of the preexisting finding has frustrated some intelligence officials, who believe that U.S. involvement in the Ukraine conflict differs so much from the spirit of the finding that it should merit a new one.”
It’s not clear what the US personnel are doing inside Ukraine or where exactly they are operating, but the presence risks provoking Russia. The covert operations contradict President Biden’s pledge not to send troops into Ukraine, which he said before Russia’s invasion could spark a “world war.”

All the Russians need to do after they capture C.I.A./Special Forces people is wire them up to a lamp cord, plug it into the wall until they talk, then put them on display for them to tell the whole world what they’ve been doing over there.
Get them out of there and accept Putin’s conditions. Maybe it is time for a IC and DOD mutiny. Between this fiasco, the criminal DOD bioweapon (MRNA) program, and the FBI arrests of patriots stateside, we have a rogue government. Now would be a good time to end this one and start anew. All white, Christian men should leave these services. They cannot court martial all of them.
What does it take for the citizens of the US to throw off this govt that has been rogue now for quite awhile?? Whats left for them to do before the People act as they have outlined in their constitution?!?!?
Just like tic toc… any day now.
These Central Intelligence Agency operatives will not change the ultimate result. Another military loss for western nations.
But they did so well in Vietnam, after murdering millions of innocent people , bruh .
Don’t forget — the CIA’s ‘purpose’ in connection with the Vietnam war was to run an enormous heroin operation — along with the mossad and the Meyer Lansky criminal syndicate … similar to its ‘purpose’ in Afghanistan …
I used to have respect and admiration for sf types. Never had it for spooks.
The CIA is everywhere, like cancer, black mold, and herpes. When and where they will pop up to do more damage or cause more embarrassment are the only questions. Of course they have been in Ukraine since well before their orchestrated and supported coup of 2014.
I doubt that our Special twinkle toes brigade is going to make much of a difference.
Shoot everyone wearing sunglasses.
Now I understand why Brandon withdrew from Afghanistan so quickly. He had to get ready to send everyone to Ukraine. If you asked most American if US is at war with Russia they would say no. The sheeple are oblivious.
Dave DeCamp, shame on you for implying that Biden lied about boots on the ground. In 40 years that man has never lied one time. aaand he did not have sex with Ashley.
Not clear????
Fucking moron faggot.
the go everywhere, minding other people’s business, lying bully is now engaged with troops and spies. our ‘leaders’ are sure spending a lot of money propping up that faux country, aren’t they? i suppose it is very expensive to keep up your grift when someone else wants it.
The more Putin hand wrings,the worse this whole thing gets….two things
At some point you have to stop worrying about the liars and their lies
Saving a life today may cost you many more tomorrow…..
IMO, I think its not that Putin is worried about what the liars are saying. I think hes doing everything by the book so that the countries that are allied with russia will know that Russia follows the law. For other countries sitting on the fence, when they see Russia’s restraint and not the carpet bombing and illegal acts that the USA ALWAYS does they too will side more strongly with Russia.
And then theres winter… Which will eliminate most of the resistance un ukie land than weapons will. When it starts getting ZERO degree C… means citizens in not only Ukraine but germany, france and others with no heat and little food are going to be another front the ;west’ will have to contend with. Those troops and soldiers in ukie are going to be pretty cold and isolated real quick. I also hear that frozen ground means more routes of travel open.
So nope… I don’t think Putin is wringing his hands… its all calculated, and all he has to do is be patient for yet a little while longer…
it is not much of a surprise to hear this,didn’t we all assume that it was occurring ?
whose snipers were taking out all those russian senior officers a few months back ?
what is surprising is that lithuania is putting troops in there–when this is all over,i suspect that russia will deal w/her former satellite —
Any US soldiers over there are fighting on behalf of our enemies (the Davos group).
Anyone joining the military in today’s world has to understand they are joining an evil cartel. They are not defending their country, nor are they serving the American people. They are agreeing to serve the NWO and to help enslave and murder the people of the earth.
