Even though the Kremlin insists on the so-called special operation in Ukraine and believes it will succeed despite serious setbacks, resentment against the country’s military leadership and the government of President Vladimir Putin is growing among the Russian population. The US secret service CIA is now targeting disappointed and angry Russians. They should report “We are open for business.”
“We’re looking all over the world for Russians who are as disgusted by what’s happening as we are,” Marlowe recently told a select audience at a panel discussion at George Mason University in Virginia. “Putin had his best moment the day before the invasion, when he still had a chance to suppress Ukraine, influence NATO and show that Russia is a powerful nation. But he gambled it all away,” Marlowe said.
Army officers, oligarchs and businessmen were targeted
The event took place last week and a recording was recently released on the website of the Hadyen Center, a US think tank specializing in security policy. The Wall Street Journal, in a report, quoted several former CIA operatives as defining disaffected military officers, Kremlin-dropped oligarchs, and businessmen as target groups for the recruitment efforts.
According to reports, British and US secret services are already working to set up “training capabilities” in Ukraine. There has also been a huge increase in espionage activities in Europe since the expulsion of hundreds of Russian diplomats.
