WASHINGTON: Former US intelligence officer Ryan Hillsberg said on FOX News that the CIA secretly trained the Ukrainian military.
- We provide such support regularly and in all parts of the world. I am glad that the news about this became public, that we did not sit idly by. We acted prudently, anticipated the enemy's moves and anticipated them. In the end, it all comes down to keeping our working methods secret,” he said.
According to Hillsberg, the CIA's training is so hard that anything you might encounter in real life will seem relatively easy.
Earlier, Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin demanded that the United States and NATO member countries stop supplying weapons, as well as sending mercenaries to Ukraine, pointing out that the West, if it wants peace, needs to send funds not for military supplies,
and to provide humanitarian assistance to the population. When US President Joe Biden and his NATO colleagues call for peace, he said, "they should start with themselves first." Volodin said that it was their fault that a possible settlement of the situation in Ukraine was being delayed.
