"Ukrainian troops got a crash course in modern guerrilla warfare from the Central Intelligence Agency following Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea, training that US officials believe is helping Ukraine hold off the Kremlin now. CIA paramilitary officers with the Special Activities Division began secretly training Ukrainian forces in sniping, anti-tank warfare and surveillance evasion shortly after the 2014 incursion, Yahoo News reported Wednesday. Half a dozen former intelligence officials told the outlet that they see hallmarks of their training in the ongoing Ukrainian resistance.

The CIA also trained Ukrainians to evade Russian electronic surveillance, which was making them sitting ducks for artillery fire in the trenches of the Donbas region. Ukrainian soldiers “were using mobile phones in a trench,” one former intelligence official told Yahoo. “People were getting blown to bits.” CIA agents had to develop secure systems so the Ukrainians could communicate, then move before “[the Russians] start[ed] rocketing the crap out of you,” the former official said. The paramilitaries were pulled out of Ukraine last month as tensions with Russia grew, another former official said, noting there were no agency paramilitaries on the ground when Russia invaded at the end of February."

VIRGINIA: "Virginia Senator Tim Kaine is calling on his state to open its doors to Ukrainian refugees. The commonwealth extended the same welcome to people fleeing Afghanistan. Kaine is commending President Biden’s decision to grant Ukraine a temporary protection status. Temporary protection status means refugees who arrive in the United States before March 1st are able to stay for the next 18 months. Senator Kaine explains that Poland has taken in many Ukrainian refugees since the start of the war and hopes the Commonwealth of Virginia can do the same. Senator Kaine says the United States needs to tread carefully to help Ukraine but not escalate any further aggression from Russia. He explained that the Commonwealth of Virginia is doing its part to divest from Russian companies and commodities. But he says he doesn’t understand why the United States cannot supply Ukraine with aircraft to defend their countries. He explained that he does not understand the difference between providing the country with aircraft and air defense systems or missiles."
