The Yanks were their first. Stop yelling nonsense day in, day out. CIA was all over Ukraine, way before 2014. Do you think Russia did not know that? Do you think that the KGB Boss did not know that?
"Even before Russia first seized Ukrainian territory in 2014 by taking possession of Crimea and sought to annex two provinces in eastern Ukraine, the American CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) was quietly and unofficially working with Ukraine to monitor an increasingly aggressive Russia."
As the Russian threat to Ukraine increased, CIA activities in the region expanded and increased their activity. In the 1990s the newly independent Ukraine welcomed a CIA presence and assistance in monitoring what the Russians were up to and what their plans for Ukraine were.
Cooperation between the CIA and Ukraine was a mutually beneficial situation that obtained important information on Russian plans and operations while also providing Ukraine’s NATO allies with accurate information about the impact a Russian war in Ukraine might have.
