CIA is teaching covert ops to Ukraine forces

US training bid as invasion looms

AMERICAN spooks are training Ukrainian special forces to launch covert operations against Russian troops if the Kremlin orders an invasion.

The CIAโ€™s paramilitary section is teaching Ukrainians how to launch sabotage, surveillance, espionage and even assassination missions.

Specialist operators are giving the lessons at a secret base in south of the US. At the same time, the Ukrainian elite forces are learning from Americaโ€™s National Security Agency how to intercept Russian communications.

Sources say it is part of an exchange programme between Ukraine and the US which also involves swapping intelligence.

It is believed the US has boosted the numbers of intelligence officers it has in Ukraine amid fears of an invasion. Moscow has 126,000 troops on Ukraineโ€™s eastern flank, as well as 30,000 pro-separatist fighters in the Donbas region, in Ukraine.

About 80,000 Russian and Belarusian troops are gathered in Belarus to the north west, within striking distance of Ukraineโ€™s capital Kyiv.

A source said the USUkrainian programme is designed along the lines of the British World War II Special Operations Executive.

The source added: โ€œThis is exactly how the SOE operated, secretly to subvert and launch sabotage missions against an invasion force in Europe. These individuals would undermine and confuse the enemy by attacking then disappearing.โ€ Itโ€™s believed Ukraine has provided the US Treasury Department with financial intelligence on Russian efforts to beat economic sanctions. It is believed to include information on collusion between Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs who have close ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin. Ukraine will conduct military drills from tomorrow until February 20 in response to Russian exercises, Ukrainian defence minister Oleksii Reznikov said this week.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glagolitic_script

The Glagolitic script the oldest known Slavic alphabet. It is generally agreed to have been created in the 9th century by Saint Cyril, a monk from Thessaloniki. He and his brother, Saint Methodius, were sent by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III in 863 to Great Moravia to spread Christianity among the West Slavs in the area. The brothers decided to translate liturgical books into the contemporary Slavic language understandable to the general population (now known as Old Church Slavonic). As the words of that language could not be easily written by using either the Greek or Latin alphabets, Cyril decided to invent a new script, Glagolitic, which he based on the local dialect of the Slavic tribes from the Byzantine theme of Thessalonica.
