“Red fish” and military, so the Ukrainian agents infiltrate Russia (with the help of the CIA)

More and more the weight of the war falls on the shoulders of the SBU and GUR

In the last three and a half years of war, the attention of the world has focused on the line of the eastern and southern front. Often the successes and failures of the conflict have been measured on the basis of a few square kilometers of land or on the fate of small villages unknown to most. But since 2022 it is in progress A parallel and secret war between Moscow and Kiev whose impact is not always clear. And now that Western aid to Ukraine are less and less obvious, the largest part of this conflict falls on the shoulders of Ukraine intelligence.

Ukraine – Russia, the live war




















































Operations like yesterday’s against Borisoglebsk airport in Russia are now on the agenda. Not all are spectacular as the “spider -canvas” attack conducted on June 2 against the Russian aerial bases. But since the Army crossed the border for the first time on February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian services – SBU and Gur – have worked to inflict damage well beyond the front line. The two agencies overlap operationally But, according to the experts, the first tends to pursue more complex missions with longer execution times, while the second works at tight pace.

In addition to the attacks on individual targets (one of the most striking that cost the life of Dugin’s daughter, considered the ideologist of the Kremlin), objectives were affected by Donbass to Crimea (the most important is the Kerch bridge), up to the outskirts of Moscow and the railway lines of Siberia. All shots scored in Russian territory would not have been possible without the collaboration of Ukraine intelligence with the CIA. It is 2016 when, to protect themselves from Russian penetration, the new Gur teams – military intelligence – begin to recruit only officers under 30 years, Without any memory of the Soviet Union, anti -Russian “patriots”, children of Piazza Maidan. These motivated young people form a commando trained by the CIA. Is the famous Unit 2245which would become known for its bold operations behind the Russian lines and abroad. One of the diamond tips is Kyrylo Budanov, now at the top of the Gur. And, always in the same period in Kiev arrives A new head of the CIA station, nicknamed “Santa Claus” for his white beard. Uncle Sam takes root in Ukraine. It helps to open bases on the border, a move that annoys Putin not a little. The “Red Fish Operation” training program also bears the signature of Langley. So called for a post-Soviet joke on a Russianophone fish that you cannot trust, teaches Ukrainians to passed off as Russians.

Fast forward and also the SBU – internal safety – changes face. It is July 2022 when his head Ivan Bakanov, despite his ties with President Zelensky (grew up together with Kryvyj Rih) is forced to resign due to the accusations of being very soft with internal traitors. To indignate public opinion the news, among others, that Russian manufacturing modem are still used in the agency’s networks. But not only. The suspicion that the ties with certain figures close to the Kremlin are still too tight is a reality. Too dangerous while an invasion is underway. And so in command of the SBU passes Vasyl Malleuk, the arch of the “Spider -Canvas” operation, designed for years and very similar for structure and modus operandi to that conducted against Hezbollah from Mossad. Another agency certainly attentive to what happens in Ukraine.
