CIA agents with the Ukrainian military in the war in Ukraine



CIA agents have repeatedly traveled to Ukraine to help Kyiv in operations with new weapons and systems, writes Newsweek.


The publication notes that CIA operations were strictly regulated, and only a limited number of employees could be in Ukraine at the same time.


According to Newsweek sources, the US intelligence agency is actively involved in the conflict, but does not want it to get out of hand.


"The CIA was central to the war even before it started," an unnamed intelligence official told the publication.
