This is what they give people in hospitals across the world when they can't eat and have to take IV "nutrition". Soybean oil, rancid oxidized fish oil, purified egg phospholipids, glycerol, and even 25mcg of aluminum per liter, right into your veins. The combination of the aluminum with all these substances is most definitely going to facilitate some autoimmune disease, especially with the purified egg. You know what's even more horrifying? This is allowed on all ages, including infants from birth to 2 months old. During the clinical trials from the original US approval in 2016, some pre-term infants died, with autopsy findings showing an accumulation of intravascular fat in the lungs. When you investigate the studies looking into the adverse reaction profile and safety, they did the EXACT same thing they do in vaccine studies. 1 group gets the SMOFlipid injection, and then the comparator group gets just a soybean oil lipid emulsion with no other ingredients. If they compared the lipid emulsion IV to a simple bag of saline, it would be abundantly clear that it's causing inflammation, heart problems, anemia, vomiting, liver problems, diarrhea, and sepsis that they saw in the trials. This is what people call modern medicine. It's the further thing from medicine and is just barbaric and homicidal, with it being predicated on fraudulent garbage science that is basically just advertising at this point to sell the product to the FDA for approval and then widespread use in hospitals. Medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US, and that is a very conservative estimate. When you fully factor in treatment protocols like this, in conjunction with how we treat heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc, it's incredibly easy to understand that the US medical system is BY FAR the leading cause of death. Welcome to Rockefeller medicine.

Oh I forgot to mention one very important detail. When they put people on a ventilator for COVID, they gave them IV nutrition like this. So not only were patients being drugged with midazolam, fentanyl, propofol, etc, with a tube shoved down their throat, as well as being given remdesivir, THEY WERE ALSO GETTING THIS TOXIC IV NUTRITION ON TOP OF IT ALL. It's so insane. This is why mortality spiked in 2020. Hospitals were just straight up killing people with an onslaught of toxicity, and then paid very well for it by the government. https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8014144/

🇮🇱🇵🇸🧵 Inside Israel’s sinister AI Drone Tech, "Where’s Daddy?" and Why It’s Disturbing.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

0/6: Introduction Israel’s military tech in Gaza has gone high-tech with AI systems like "Where’s Daddy?" and drones that hit hard and fast. What sounds like sci-fi is real, and it’s dark. Here’s a thread on how it works, and why it’s so disturbing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGqYbXL3kZc

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

1/6: What Is "Where’s Daddy?" I want to break down something wild, and honestly messed up, about Israel’s military tech in Gaza. You’ve probably heard about their drones, but there’s an AI system called "Where’s Daddy?" that’s taking things to a whole new level. It’s not just futuristic. It’s raising dark questions about what’s okay in war. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) use it to track suspected Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) fighters, figuring out when they enter their family homes. Once they’re there, the system flags it, and a strike hits, often at night, with families around. It’s not a drone itself but ties into their insane tech, and it’s chilling. https://www.democracynow.org/2024/4/5/israel_ai

How Israel Used AI to Form Kill Lists & Bomb Palestinians in Their Homes The Israeli publications +972 and Local Call have exposed how the Israeli military used an artificial intelligence program known as Lavender to develop a “kill list” in Gaza that includes as many as 37,000 Palestinians who were targeted for assassination with little human oversight. A second AI system known as “Where’s Daddy?” tracked Palestinians on the kill list and was purposely designed to help Israel target individuals when they were at home at night with their families. The targeting systems, combined with an “extremely permissive” bombing policy in the Israeli military, led to “entire Palestinian families being wiped out inside their houses,” says Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist who broke the story after speaking with members of the Israeli military who were “shocked by committing atrocities.” Abraham previously exposed Israel for using an AI system called “The Gospel” to intentionally destroy civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including apartment complexes, universities and banks, in an effort to exert “civil pressure” on Hamas. These artificial intelligence military systems are “a danger to humanity,” says Abraham. “AI-based warfare allows people to escape accountability.” democracynow.org

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

2/6: The AI Tag-Team: "Where’s Daddy?" and "Lavender" Here’s how it works: "Where’s Daddy?" teams up with another AI called "Lavender," like the grim reaper’s assistant. "Lavender" scans Gaza’s surveillance data, phone calls, texts, location history, and gives every person a score from 1 to 100 on how likely they’re a militant. The catch? It’s got a 10% error rate, so one in ten might just be a regular person. "Where’s Daddy?" takes over from there, using mobile phone tracking to watch these targets move, waiting for them to step into their homes with their families. Then it’s game over, a strike’s called in. That error rate means innocent people get caught in this cold, calculated mess. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/01/the-gospel-how-israel-uses-ai-to-select-bombing-targets

‘The Gospel’: how Israel uses AI to select bombing targets in Gaza Concerns over data-driven ‘factory’ that significantly increases the number of targets for strikes in the Palestinian territory theguardian.com

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

3/6: Drones Powering the Kill Machine Israel’s drones are the muscle here, and they’re terrifyingly effective. The Elbit Hermes 450, a battle-tested UAV, flies for 20 hours and often carries Rafael Spike missiles, making it a go-to for pinpoint strikes on targets flagged by "Where’s Daddy?" (sometimes right in their homes). The Elbit Hermes 900, loaded with HD cameras and occasional munitions, hovers over Gaza for over 30 hours, feeding live data to lock onto a target’s exact spot with chilling precision. Then there’s the IAI Harop, a loitering “kamikaze” drone that waits (sometimes for hours) before diving in with an 18 kg warhead when the moment’s right, like when a family’s together. Smaller drones like the Skylark keep the surveillance constant. These aren’t just watchers. They tie into a massive web (drone footage, tapped calls, phone pings) driving a kill chain so fast it’s hard to escape. Strikes might come from these drones, jets, or unguided “dumb” bombs, cheap and sloppy in tight neighborhoods, amplifying the horror. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RmNJH4UN3s

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

4/6: The Broader System and the Human Cost There’s more to it. "The Gospel" is another AI targeting buildings or tunnels, while "Where’s Daddy?" and "Lavender" hunt people. Gaza’s under this insane surveillance net, and the stats are brutal: at least 60,000 Palestinians killed by now since October 2023, 60-70% of them minors, children, and babies, tons in homes, per Gaza officials. That’s families, kids, neighbors wiped out because of this tech. The system’s built to hit fast, but when it’s targeting homes with a 10% chance of being wrong, it’s not just efficiency. It’s a gamble with lives that feels closer to evil than strategy. https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-ai-system-wheres-daddy-strikes-hamas-family-homes-2024

Israel's 'Where's Daddy?' AI system helps target suspected Hamas militants when they're at home with their families, report says Israeli forces have relied heavily on two AI systems, "Lavender" and "Where's Daddy," to identify and target suspected Hamas militants, says report. businessinsider.com

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

5/6: The Ethical and Legal Breakdown This is where it gets really messed up. That 10% error rate means a dad could get flagged for nothing, like a bad call or wrong address, and "Where’s Daddy?" tracks him home for a drone strike. The IDF says humans check AI picks, but it’s reportedly 20 seconds of “oversight.” Twenty seconds! International law demands you separate fighters from civilians and protect the innocent, but this is like rolling dice, knowing some bets are bad, and still cashing in. Imagine your house rubble because an AI glitched. That’s not a mistake. It’s a system shrugging off the fallout, playing god with no remorse. https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, +972 and Local Call reveal. 972mag.com

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

6/6: Innovation or a Dark Descent? The IDF claims it’s not fully automated. Humans are in the loop, and AI just “helps.” They’re proud pioneers, but when "Where’s Daddy?" hits people at their most vulnerable, surrounded by loved ones, and civilian deaths pile up to at least 60,000 (60-70% minors, children, and babies), it’s hard to call this “efficiency.” It’s cold, almost evil, like wiping out families to get one guy, even if he’s the wrong guy, is fine by them. They’ve got precision tools but pick unguided bombs and skimpy reviews. This shows how far Israel’s AI and drones can go, super advanced, but at what cost? If it turns homes into graves, it’s not progress. It’s losing something human. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Bucha Unmasked: A Web of Doubt Thread

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Something’s off about Bucha, Ukraine, April 2022. The official story blames Russia, yet the timeline wavers, bodies shift, and questions linger. Staged scenes? Blocked debates? Unseen satellite shots? Dive into the weirdness and decide for yourself. 👇

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

1) Peace Before the Storm? Russian troops occupied Bucha from early March. Some suggest life went on, with claims of interactions like sharing food. Why the sudden shift to mass murders just before leaving?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

2) Satellite Trickery Skepticism about Maxar satellite images showing bodies from mid-March is understandable. Photos can theoretically be edited with Photoshop, and since Maxar satellites only work on assignment, who gave the order and why exactly then?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

3) Maxar’s Pentagon Pals Maxar, the satellite imagery provider, is a major U.S. Defense Department contractor, supplying 90% of its geospatial intel. Could their ties bias what they chose to snap over Bucha?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

4) Ukrainian Shelling Ukrainian forces shelled Bucha’s southern edge with artillery and tanks, even after the Russians left. Who caused the real damage here? https://tass.com/politics/1431827

Envoy points to Ukrainian shelling of Bucha following Russian troop withdrawal The Russian Defense Ministry has fully rejected these false accusations, Anatoly Antonov pointed out tass.com

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

5) Peace Talks Sabotaged The Bucha incident surfaced right after Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Turkey, with Russian withdrawal from Kyiv areas as a goodwill gesture. Was it staged to derail negotiations? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/29/world/europe/russia-ukraine-peace-talks-istanbul.html

Hopes for a peace deal center on negotiators at a palace in Istanbul. (Published 2022) “All the world is expecting good news from you,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in greeting the Russian and Ukrainian delegations. nytimes.com

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

6) The Silent Mayor Bucha’s mayor, Anatoliy Fedoruk, made a video on March 31, 2022, after the Russian withdrawal. He speaks optimistically about liberation and mentions no bodies on the streets. This is often cited as suspicious since the atrocities only surfaced widely on April 1-2.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

7) Azov on the Hunt There are videos of Ukrainian units, possibly including Azov, moving through Bucha after the Russian withdrawal. In one, a soldier says something like: “Can we shoot those without blue armbands?” and the answer is confirmative.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

8) Staged Corpses A video circulates showing Ukrainian soldiers seemingly moving bodies, which some interpret as evidence of staging. The question is: why would they do that?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

9) Evidence Delayed Images of bodies only appeared on April 3, four days after Russian troops left Bucha, when Ukrainian forces and media arrived. Why the gap if the killings happened earlier?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

10) Satellite Timing Unraveled The New York Times claims Maxar images from March 19 show bodies, but some analyses question the timing, suggesting a later date like April 1, after Russians were gone. When were these really taken? https://t.co/2Jm9aAaE1z

@MichaKobs - Michael Kobs

Russian OSINT group Rybar compared the times of MAXAR satellites over Bucha to find out on which day a satellite could take an image showing the same azimuth of the sun (same angle of shadows) as the MAXAR image taken on February 28. https://t.co/wAPoCKxb1v

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

11) Too Neatly Arranged All photographed bodies lay on or along the street, neatly ordered. In a real massacre, people flee, you’d expect bodies in houses, gardens, or alleys. This looks too structured, as if placed for the camera.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

12) Body Positions Shifted Photos show bodies moved: one with a bag near the head on the road, later shifted to the sidewalk; another spot had three bodies, then only two. Why the changes?

New Thread ‼️ 🇺🇦🇷🇺🧵 The War in Ukraine: A Historical Context and Analysis.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

This thread will dive into the historical context, key events, and multifaceted perspectives surrounding the War in Ukraine, from the Soviet legacy and Cold War dynamics to the 2014 coup, failed peace efforts, language policies, and allegations of foreign involvement.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

A quick overview of what's about to be discussed: - WWII: Soviet sacrifice and influence on current geopolitical relationships. - Cold War: NATO expansion and broken promises. - 2014: Early signs of war, coup, and Western interference. - Anti-Terror: Civil war in Eastern Ukraine. - Minsk: Failed peace agreements. 2022: Sabotaged peace deal. - Nord Stream: Possible US involvement in sabotage. - Gainers: Geopolitical consequences and economic advantages. - Language Policy: Attempts and success in banning Russian. Responsibility: Multifaceted perspectives on cause and blame. Read on for an in-depth analysis of the complex situation in Ukraine, where historical context, geopolitical tensions, and local dynamics converge to provide a broad perspective on the war.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

1. World War II and the Liberation of Europe: After World War II, Europe liberated itself with significant help from the Soviet Union from Nazi occupation. The Soviet sacrifice was monumental, with estimates speaking of a loss of 27 to 28 million souls, a number that has forever marked the psyche of Russia and its relationship with the West. The Soviet Union played a crucial role in defeating the Third Reich, resulting in the division of Germany into East and West, with the GDR under Soviet influence. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/world-war-two-casualties-by-country?utm_source=perplexity

World War II Casualties by Country 2024 worldpopulationreview.com

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

2. The Cold War and NATO Expansion: With the Cold War drawing to a close and the Soviet Union relinquishing the GDR without a drop of blood, German reunification became possible. This noble act by the Soviets paved the way for a united Germany. However, NATO then began an eastward expansion that caused tensions with Russia. During the negotiations for German reunification, American and German leaders, like James Baker and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, assured the Soviets that NATO would not expand eastward.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

The War in Ukraine 3. The Start of the War in 2014: The war in Ukraine did not begin in 2022, but in 2014, a fact that many still overlook, thinking the conflict started with the Russian invasion of 2022. Following the Euromaidan protests, which arose in opposition to President Viktor Yanukovych's refusal to sign an association agreement with the EU, a series of events led to his ousting in February 2014. A notable piece of evidence of foreign interference was a leaked phone call between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt, discussing who should lead the new Ukrainian government, with Nuland praising Arseniy Yatsenyuk as the ideal premier. This conversation, which went viral online, is often cited as evidence of American interference leading to the escalation into civil war. Crimea Tensions on the Crimean peninsula escalated rapidly. Crimea was not annexed; the population expressed its preference through a referendum. The presence of Russian troops was to prevent Ukrainian military forces from threatening the local population or further destabilizing the situation. https://t.co/EJnHYK2QT7

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

4. Anti-Terror Operation and Civil War: After the 2014 coup, people in eastern Ukraine quickly realized that the new government no longer represented them. Ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk, often labeled as 'pro-Russian separatists' by Western media, felt more connected to Russia than to the pro-Western government in Kiev. They simply wanted to live in peace in their birthplace, Donbas. The 'anti-terror operation' that followed, initiated by then-interim President Oleksandr Turchynov, effectively sparked a civil war, where the population had to resist a government they did not consider legitimate.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

5. Minsk Agreements and the Failure of Peace Efforts: In 2014 and 2015, the Minsk agreements were signed, primarily at Russia's initiative, with Germany and France as mediators, to end the hostilities in eastern Ukraine. The regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where many felt an affinity with Russia, repeatedly asked for Russian support. Putin, feeling a responsibility towards these former Soviet citizens, pushed for peace. However, these agreements were never fully implemented, and later, Western leaders like Angela Merkel of Germany and François Hollande of France admitted that the agreements were meant to buy time for Ukraine's military buildup, indicating that Putin was deceived. Angela Merkel https://t.co/9VC6GXMpHv François Hollande https://t.co/ucvtWvAjO8 archived Full article https://pdfhost.io/v/e0FRLvfzB_Angela_Merkel___Hatten_Sie_gedacht_ich_komme_mit_Pferdeschwanz_

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

6. Attempts and Success of Banning the Russian Language by the Ukrainian parlement (Verkhovna Rada): The 2012 Language Law: In August 2012, under President Yanukovych, a law was passed granting regional language status to languages spoken by more than 10% of the population in a specific region, making Russian applicable in official documents and government communications in many areas of eastern and southern Ukraine. Annulment Post-Revolution: After Yanukovych's ousting in 2014, the Verkhovna Rada attempted to annul the regional language law, but it was not formally signed by the then-presidents, leaving the law legally in effect. The 2019 Language Law: In April 2019, a new language law was adopted that established Ukrainian as the only state language. This law has a broad impact on the use of Russian in public life, education, and media. Implementation and Controversy: The implementation of this language law has led to accusations of linguicide and has further fueled tensions between ethnic groups. Critics argue that it discriminates against the Russian-speaking minority by limiting their language rights. Success and Reaction: Although Russian is formally restricted in government functions and public sectors, a significant part of the population still speaks Russian, especially in the east and south of the country. This has not only increased internal tensions but is also seen as one of the factors that strengthened separatist movements in the east.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

7. The Sabotaged Peace Agreement of March 2022: In March 2022, shortly after the large-scale Russian invasion, a peace agreement was already on the table, drafted by Putin and Zelensky, ready to be signed in Istanbul the next day. However, the visit of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Ukraine, specifically aimed at sabotaging this peace deal, is often cited as a turning point. During this visit, he reportedly encouraged President Zelensky not to agree to this peace deal, significantly diminishing the chances of peace. While Western media described the Russian actions as a cruel, brutal invasion war, reports from Donbass told a different story. Posts from journalists on the ground like Thomas Röper indicated that many civilians in Donbass welcomed the arrival of Russian troops. These soldiers were seen as protectors offering humanitarian aid such as food and medicine, protecting the local population from hostilities. https://t.co/WcLm3JEROh

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

8. Nord Stream and Strong Indications of US Involvement: The sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in 2022 is widely attributed to the United States by many analysts. This is supported by various clues. Before the war started, American politicians had openly spoken out against the Nord Stream pipelines. President Biden stated in a press conference with Scholz that Nord Stream would end if Russian tanks entered Ukraine, and when asked how he would do it, he responded with confidence: "Make no mistake, we’ll be able to do it." The US has the technology and military capacity for such sabotage. Shortly before the sabotage, there was a military exercise named BALTOPS at the same location, including underwater drones. Flightradar24 detected flights with transponders turned off. Moreover, a Polish politician thanked the USA on X for the sabotage with a "thank you USA" post, which he later deleted. The German government came up with an absurd theory that a group of people with a rented yacht was responsible. This idea is unlikely; a yacht cannot anchor in open sea, and storing explosives (some sources mention hundreds to thousands of kilograms) under a seat, as suggested after finding explosive residues, is impractical. The need for decompression for deep operations is ignored, and the most absurd aspect is that the boat was not destroyed to erase all traces, as one would expect from real terrorists, but was simply returned to the rental company, only increasing the likelihood of identification. https://t.co/CkqIp4zw1p https://t.co/QKAOdZNpwK

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

9. Who Benefits? The war has led to a weakened Europe, aligning with the goals outlined in the RAND report to weaken Russia and unravel the friendly ties between Germany and Russia. This has enabled the US to sell their LNG at higher prices, while countries like India indirectly benefit by buying Russian oil and gas at a lower price and then reselling to Europe.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

10. Ukraine as a Strategic Pawn: - Proxy Warfare: There's a growing narrative, especially in some political and academic circles, that Ukraine has been positioned as a proxy in a larger US-Russian geopolitical contest. This perspective views the conflict not just as a bilateral issue between Ukraine and Russia but as a broader strategic game where the US aims to weaken Russia's influence and military capabilities indirectly through Ukraine. - US Strategic Interests: The US has provided significant military, financial, and political support to Ukraine, which some analysts argue aligns with strategic interests outlined in various think tank reports, including those from RAND Corporation. These interests include extending Russia's military and economic overextension, similar to how the US supported Afghan mujahideen against the Soviets in the 1980s. - Battering Ram Concept: The notion of Ukraine as a "battering ram" suggests that it's being leveraged by the US to: - Exhaust Russian Resources: By engaging in a prolonged conflict, it forces Russia to expend resources, potentially weakening it on a global stage. - Test Military Capabilities: Ukraine has become a testing ground for new weapons systems and tactics against a near-peer adversary, providing valuable real-world data for Western military technology. - Isolate Russia Geopolitically: By rallying NATO and other allies around the cause of Ukraine, the US aims to further isolate Russia, both politically and economically. - Implications for Ukraine: While this strategy might serve broader US geopolitical aims, it places Ukraine in a precarious position, potentially prolonging the conflict and leading to significant devastation within its borders, with critics arguing that it turns Ukraine into a sacrificial pawn in US-Russia relations.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

11. Conclusion The conflict in Ukraine is multifaceted, with historical legacies, geopolitical maneuvers, and local dynamics all playing significant roles. The narrative that Ukraine may be serving as a strategic tool in a broader US strategy against Russia adds another dimension to the conflict, suggesting that what appears primarily as a regional dispute could also be part of a larger international power play. Understanding these layers is crucial for any analysis of the war and its implications for global politics.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇩🇪🧵 Flashback to 9 May 2014. German correspondent reports on Phoenix from Donetsk: 🗣️ Dear viewers, we'll switch to Armin Coerper in a moment. He is currently in Ukraine, specifically in Donetsk. Armin, there was this incident last night in which three people were killed and possibly 13 injured. There have been arrests. What do you know about the process, about the course of this event? 🎤 So this event took place in the city of mariopol, at a military base of the new Ukrainian National Guard. We hear about 300 pro Russian activists with Molotov cocktails and it is said that they were armed, tried to storm this base and the Ukrainian soldiers first fired warning shots and then defended themselves. As far as we know, at least three people lost their lives. Some agencies are even talking about four deaths, but we can't confirm that yet. The crucial question for me here today is, if the victims are actually Ukrainian citizens and there are many indications that this is the case, then the Kiev government had its own people shot that night. 🗣️ What consequences would that have with regard to the talks in Geneva? 🎤 Well, first of all, Moscow has been pursuing the goal of questioning the moral integrity of this government for quite some time. It is repeatedly described as illegitimate and it is played with to portray this government as a puppet of the West and not as a representative of the Ukrainian people. If they shoot at their people now, of course, then this confirms that this strategy is fatal. We remember that in February, then-President Viktor Jannokovic was ousted from office because he had his people shot at. For the talks in Geneva, this means that the position of the Ukrainian government is of course becoming weaker, especially in the east of the country. To be honest, people here tell me we don't listen anymore. 🗣️Does that basically mean that Donetsk is the region you are in now that Armin is practically handed over? 🎤 I wouldn't say the region is handed over. We always saw in the first few days that an impressively small number of activists stormed and occupied these government buildings. In Donetsk, this is limited to one or two government buildings in the surrounding streets, life goes on as normal. In other cities like Slaviansk, Kramatorsk, the picture is different. These cities are in the hands of pro-Russian activists. What strikes me is that at the beginning I always had the impression that this large, silent majority is now running more and more into the arms of the pro-Russian activists and that is fueled by the fact that the government is carrying out this military operation and that with really martial rhetoric can be accompanied. 🗣️ Armin Coerper was from eastern Ukraine, more precisely from Donetsk. Thank you for this information

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇫🇲🧵 NATO Chief Jens Stoltenborg now admits it very openly, the war didn't start in 2022 but in 2014, like I have been saying right from the start of the war.

1) Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war. But that is above ground. Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov. The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military. There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the C.I.A. “One hundred and ten percent,” Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy, a top intelligence commander, said in an interview at the base. Now entering the third year of a war that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, the intelligence partnership between Washington and Kyiv is a linchpin of Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence for targeted missile strikes, track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks. But the partnership is no wartime creation, nor is Ukraine the only beneficiary. It took root a decade ago, coming together in fits and starts under three very different U.S. presidents, pushed forward by key individuals who often took daring risks. It has transformed Ukraine, whose intelligence agencies were long seen as thoroughly compromised by Russia, into one of Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

2) The listening post in the Ukrainian forest is part of a C.I.A.-supported network of spy bases constructed in the past eight years that includes 12 secret locations along the Russian border. Before the war, the Ukrainians proved themselves to the Americans by collecting intercepts that helped prove Russia’s involvement in the 2014 downing ([1]) of a commercial jetliner, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. The Ukrainians also helped the Americans go after the Russian operatives who meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Around 2016, the C.I.A. began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that C.I.A. technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. (One officer in the unit was Kyrylo Budanov, now the general leading Ukraine’s military intelligence.) And the C.I.A. also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence. The relationship is so ingrained that C.I.A. officers remained at a remote location in western Ukraine when the Biden administration evacuated U.S. personnel in the weeks before Russia invaded in February 2022. During the invasion, the officers relayed critical intelligence, including where Russia was planning strikes and which weapons systems they would use. “Without them, there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” said Ivan Bakanov, who was then head of Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency, the S.B.U.

3) The details of this intelligence partnership, many of which are being disclosed by The New York Times for the first time, have been a closely guarded secret for a decade. In more than 200 interviews, current and former officials in Ukraine, the United States and Europe described a partnership that nearly foundered from mutual distrust before it steadily expanded, turning Ukraine into an intelligence-gathering hub that intercepted more Russian communications than the C.I.A. station in Kyiv could initially handle. Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence and matters of sensitive diplomacy. Now these intelligence networks are more important than ever, as Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is more dependent on sabotage and long-range missile strikes that require spies far behind enemy lines. And they are increasingly at risk: If Republicans in Congress end military funding to Kyiv, the C.I.A. may have to scale back. To try to reassure Ukrainian leaders, William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, made a secret visit to Ukraine last Thursday, his 10th visit since the invasion. From the outset, a shared adversary — President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia — brought the C.I.A. and its Ukrainian partners together. Obsessed with “losing” Ukraine to the West, Mr. Putin had regularly interfered in Ukraine’s political system, handpicking leaders he believed would keep Ukraine within Russia’s orbit, yet each time it backfired, driving protesters into the streets. Mr. Putin has long blamed Western intelligence agencies for manipulating Kyiv and sowing anti-Russia sentiment in Ukraine. Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Mr. Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the C.I.A., together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow. But the Times investigation found that Mr. Putin and his advisers misread a critical dynamic. The C.I.A. didn’t push its way into Ukraine. U.S. officials were often reluctant to fully engage, fearing that Ukrainian officials could not be trusted, and worrying about provoking the Kremlin.

4) Yet a tight circle of Ukrainian intelligence officials assiduously courted the C.I.A. and gradually made themselves vital to the Americans. In 2015, Gen. Valeriy Kondratiuk, then Ukraine’s head of military intelligence, arrived at a meeting with the C.I.A.’s deputy station chief and without warning handed over a stack of top-secret files. That initial tranche contained secrets about the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet, including detailed information about the latest Russian nuclear submarine designs. Before long, teams of C.I.A. officers were regularly leaving his office with backpacks full of documents. “We understood that we needed to create the conditions of trust,” General Kondratiuk said. As the partnership deepened after 2016, the Ukrainians became impatient with what they considered Washington’s undue caution, and began staging assassinations and other lethal operations, which violated the terms the White House thought the Ukrainians had agreed to. Infuriated, officials in Washington threatened to cut off support, but they never did. “The relationships only got stronger and stronger because both sides saw value in it, and the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv — our station there, the operation out of Ukraine — became the best source of information, signals and everything else, on Russia,” said a former senior American official. “We couldn’t get enough of it.” This is the untold story of how it all happened.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

5)  A Cautious Beginning The C.I.A.’s partnership in Ukraine can be traced back to two phone calls on the night of Feb. 24, 2014, eight years to the day before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Millions of Ukrainians had just overrun the country’s pro-Kremlin government and the president, Viktor Yanukovych, and his spy chiefs had fled ([2]) to Russia. In the tumult, a fragile pro-Western government quickly took power. The government’s new spy chief, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, arrived at the headquarters of the domestic intelligence agency and found a pile of smoldering documents in the courtyard. Inside, many of the computers had been wiped or were infected with Russian malware. “It was empty. No lights. No leadership. Nobody was there,” Mr. Nalyvaichenko said in an interview. He went to an office and called the C.I.A. station chief and the local head of MI6. It was near midnight but he summoned them to the building, asked for help in rebuilding the agency from the ground up, and proposed a three-way partnership. “That’s how it all started,” Mr. Nalyvaichenko said.

6) The situation quickly became more dangerous. Mr. Putin seized ([3]) Crimea. His agents fomented ([4]) separatist rebellions that would become a war in the country’s east. Ukraine was on war footing, and Mr. Nalyvaichenko appealed to the C.I.A. for overhead imagery and other intelligence to help defend its territory. With violence escalating, an unmarked U.S. government plane touched down at an airport in Kyiv carrying John O. Brennan, then the director of the C.I.A. He told Mr. Nalyvaichenko that the C.I.A. was interested in developing a relationship but only at a pace the agency was comfortable with, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials. To the C.I.A., the unknown question was how long Mr. Nalyvaichenko and the pro-Western government would be around. The C.I.A. had been burned before in Ukraine. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine gained independence and then veered between competing political forces: those that wanted to remain close to Moscow and those that wanted to align with the West. During a previous stint as spy chief, Mr. Nalyvaichenko started a similar partnership with the C.I.A., which dissolved when the country swung back toward Russia. Now Mr. Brennan explained that to unlock C.I.A. assistance the Ukrainians had to prove that they could provide intelligence of value to the Americans. They also needed to purge Russian spies; the domestic spy agency, the S.B.U., was riddled with them. (Case in point: The Russians quickly learned about Mr. Brennan’s supposedly secret visit. The Kremlin’s propaganda outlets published a photoshopped image of the C.I.A. director wearing a clown wig and makeup.) Mr. Brennan returned to Washington, where advisers to President Barack Obama were deeply concerned about provoking Moscow. The White House crafted secret rules that infuriated the Ukrainians and that some inside the C.I.A. thought of as handcuffs. The rules barred intelligence agencies from providing any support to Ukraine that could be “reasonably expected” to have lethal consequences.

7) The result was a delicate balancing act, the C.I.A. was supposed to strenghten Ukraine's intelligence agencies without provoking the Russians. The red lines were never precisely clear, which created a persistent tension in the partnership. In Kyiv, Mr. Nalyvaichenko picked a longtime aide, General Kondratiuk, to serve as head of counterintelligence, and they created a new paramilitary unit that was deployed behind enemy lines to conduct operations and gather intelligence that the C.I.A. or MI6 would not provide to them. Known as the Fifth Directorate, this unit would be filled with officers born after Ukraine gained independence. “They had no connection with Russia,” General Kondratiuk said. “They didn’t even know what the Soviet Union was.” That summer, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, blew up in midair ([5]) and crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing nearly 300 passengers and crew. The Fifth Directorate produced telephone intercepts and other intelligence within hours of the crash that quickly placed responsibility on Russian-backed separatists. The C.I.A. was impressed, and made its first meaningful commitment by providing secure communications gear and specialized training to members of the Fifth Directorate and two other elite units. “The Ukrainians wanted fish and we, for policy reasons, couldn’t deliver that fish,” said a former U.S. official, referring to intelligence that could help them battle the Russians. “But we were happy to teach them how to fish and deliver fly-fishing equipment.” [5] https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/world/europe/flight-mh17-russia-dutch-court.html

8)  A Secret Santa In the summer of 2015, Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, shook up the domestic service and installed an ally to replace Mr. Nalyvaichenko, the C.I.A.’s trusted partner. But the change created an opportunity elsewhere. In the reshuffle, General Kondratiuk was appointed as the head of the country’s military intelligence agency, known as the HUR, where years earlier he had started his career. It would be an early example of how personal ties, more than policy shifts, would deepen the C.I.A.’s involvement in Ukraine. Unlike the domestic agency, the HUR had the authority to collect intelligence outside the country, including in Russia. But the Americans had seen little value in cultivating the agency because it wasn’t producing any intelligence of value on the Russians — and because it was seen as a bastion of Russian sympathizers. Trying to build trust, General Kondratiuk arranged a meeting with his American counterpart at the Defense Intelligence Agency and handed over a stack of secret Russian documents. But senior D.I.A. officials were suspicious and discouraged building closer ties. The general needed to find a more willing partner. Months earlier, while still with the domestic agency, General Kondratiuk visited the C.I.A. headquarters in Langley, Va. In those meetings, he met a C.I.A. officer with a jolly demeanor and a bushy beard who had been tapped to become the next station chief in Kyiv.

9) After a long day of meetings, the C.I.A. took General Kondratiuk to a Washington Capitals hockey match, where he and the incoming station chief sat in a luxury box and loudly booed Alex Ovechkin, the team’s star player from Russia. The station chief had not yet arrived when General Kondratiuk handed over to the C.I.A. the secret documents about the Russian Navy. “There’s more where this came from,” he promised, and the documents were sent off to analysts in Langley. The analysts concluded the documents were authentic, and after the station chief arrived in Kyiv, the C.I.A. became General Kondratiuk’s primary partner. General Kondratiuk knew he needed the C.I.A. to strengthen his own agency. The C.I.A. thought the general might be able to help Langley, too. It struggled to recruit spies inside Russia because its case officers were under heavy surveillance. “For a Russian, allowing oneself to be recruited by an American is to commit the absolute, ultimate in treachery and treason,” General Kondratiuk said. “But for a Russian to be recruited by a Ukrainian, it’s just friends talking over a beer.” The new station chief began regularly visiting General Kondratiuk, whose office was decorated with an aquarium where yellow and blue fish — the national colors of Ukraine — swam circles around a model of a sunken Russian submarine. The two men became close, which drove the relationship between the two agencies, and the Ukrainians gave the new station chief an affectionate nickname: Santa Claus. In January 2016, General Kondratiuk flew to Washington for meetings at Scattergood, an estate on the C.I.A. campus in Virginia where the agency often fetes visiting dignitaries. The agency agreed to help the HUR modernize, and to improve its ability to intercept Russian military communications. In exchange, General Kondratiuk agreed to share all of the raw intelligence with the Americans. Now the partnership was real.

9) Operation Goldfish Today, the narrow road leading to the secret base is framed by minefields, seeded as a line of defense in the weeks after Russia’s invasion. The Russian missiles that hit the base had seemingly shut it down, but just weeks later the Ukrainians returned. With money and equipment provided by the C.I.A., crews under General Dvoretskiy’s command began to rebuild, but underground. To avoid detection, they only worked at night and when Russian spy satellites were not overhead. Workers also parked their cars a distance away from the construction site. In the bunker, General Dvoretskiy pointed to communications equipment and large computer servers, some of which were financed by the C.I.A. He said his teams were using the base to hack into the Russian military’s secure communications networks. “This is the thing that breaks into satellites and decodes secret conversations,” General Dvoretskiy told a Times journalist on a tour, adding that they were hacking into spy satellites from China and Belarus, too. Another officer placed two recently produced maps on a table, as evidence of how Ukraine is tracking Russian activity around the world. The first showed the overhead routes of Russian spy satellites traveling over central Ukraine. The second showed how Russian spy satellites are passing over strategic military installations — including a nuclear weapons facility — in the eastern and central United States.

10) The C.I.A. began sending equipment in 2016, after the pivotal meeting at Scattergood, General Dvoretskiy said, providing encrypted radios and devices for intercepting secret enemy communications. Beyond the base, the C.I.A. also oversaw a training program, carried out in two European cities, to teach Ukrainian intelligence officers how to convincingly assume fake personas and steal secrets in Russia and other countries that are adept at rooting out spies. The program was called Operation Goldfish, which derived from a joke about a Russian-speaking goldfish who offers two Estonians wishes in exchange for its freedom. The punchline was that one of the Estonians bashed the fish’s head with a rock, explaining that anything speaking Russian could not be trusted. The Operation Goldfish officers were soon deployed to 12 newly-built, forward operating bases constructed along the Russian border. From each base, General Kondratiuk said, the Ukrainian officers ran networks of agents who gathered intelligence inside Russia. C.I.A. officers installed equipment at the bases to help gather intelligence and also identified some of the most skilled Ukrainian graduates of the Operation Goldfish program, working with them to approach potential Russian sources. These graduates then trained sleeper agents on Ukrainian territory meant to launch guerrilla operations in case of occupation. It can often take years for the C.I.A. to develop enough trust in a foreign agency to begin conducting joint operations. With the Ukrainians it had taken less than six months. The new partnership started producing so much raw intelligence about Russia that it had to be shipped to Langley for processing. But the C.I.A. did have red lines. It wouldn’t help the Ukrainians conduct offensive lethal operations. “We made a distinction between intelligence collection operations and things that go boom,” a former senior U.S. official said.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

11) ‘This is Our Country’ It was a distinction that grated on the Ukrainians. First, General Kondratiuk was annoyed when the Americans refused to provide satellite images from inside Russia. Soon after, he requested C.I.A. assistance in planning a clandestine mission to send HUR commandos into Russia to plant explosive devices at train depots used by the Russian military. If the Russian military sought to take more Ukrainian territory, Ukrainians could detonate the explosives to slow the Russian advance. When the station chief briefed his superiors, they “lost their minds,” as one former official put it. Mr. Brennan, the C.I.A. director, called General Kondratiuk to make certain that mission was canceled and that Ukraine abided by the red lines forbidding lethal operations. General Kondratiuk canceled the mission, but he also took a different lesson. “Going forward, we worked to not have discussions about these things with your guys,” he said. Late that summer, Ukrainian spies discovered that Russian forces were deploying attack helicopters at an airfield on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, possibly to stage a surprise attack. General Kondratiuk decided to send a team into Crimea to plant explosives at the airfield so they could be detonated if Russia moved to attack. This time, he didn’t ask the C.I.A. for permission. He turned to Unit 2245, the commando force that received specialized military training from the C.I.A.’s elite paramilitary group, known as the Ground Department. The intent of the training was to teach defensive techniques, but C.I.A. officers understood that without their knowledge the Ukrainians could use the same techniques in offensive lethal operations.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

12) At the time, the future head of Ukraine's military intelligence agency, General Budanov, was a rising star in Unit 2245. He was known for daring operations behind enemy lines and had deep ties to the C.I.A. The agency had trained him and also taken the extraordinary step of sending him for rehabilitation to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland after he was shot in the right arm during fighting in the Donbas. Disguised in Russian uniforms, then-Lt. Col. Budanov led commandos across a narrow gulf in inflatable speedboats, landing at night in Crimea. But an elite Russian commando unit was waiting for them. The Ukrainians fought back, killing several Russian fighters, including the son of a general, before retreating to the shoreline, plunging into the sea and swimming for hours to Ukrainian-controlled territory. It was a disaster. In a public address, President Putin accused the Ukrainians of plotting a terrorist attack and promised to avenge the deaths of the Russian fighters. “There is no doubt that we will not let these things pass,” he said. In Washington, the Obama White House was livid. Joseph R. Biden Jr., then the vice president and a champion of assistance to Ukraine, called Ukraine’s president to angrily complain. “It causes a gigantic problem,” Mr. Biden said in the call, a recording of which was leaked and published online. “All I’m telling you as a friend is that my making arguments here is a hell of a lot harder now.” Some of Mr. Obama’s advisers wanted to shut the C.I.A. program down, but Mr. Brennan persuaded them that doing so would be self-defeating, given the relationship was starting to produce intelligence on the Russians as the C.I.A. was investigating Russian election meddling. Mr. Brennan got on the phone with General Kondratiuk to again emphasize the red lines. The general was upset. “This is our country,” he responded, according to a colleague. “It’s our war, and we’ve got to fight.” The blowback from Washington cost General Kondratiuk his job. But Ukraine didn’t back down.

13) One day after General Kondratiuk was removed a mysterious explosion in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine, ripped through an elevator carrying a senior Russian separatist commander named Arsen Pavlov, known by his nom de guerre, Motorola. The C.I.A. soon learned that the assassins were members of the Fifth Directorate, the spy group that received C.I.A. training. Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency had even handed out commemorative patches to those involved, each one stitched with the word “Lift,” the British term for an elevator. Again, some of Mr. Obama’s advisers were furious, but they were lame ducks — the presidential election pitting Donald J. Trump against Hillary Rodham Clinton was three weeks away — and the assassinations continued. A team of Ukrainian agents set up an unmanned, shoulder-fired rocket launcher in a building in the occupied territories. It was directly across from the office of a rebel commander named Mikhail Tolstykh, better known as Givi. Using a remote trigger, they fired the launcher as soon as Givi entered his office, killing him, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials. A shadow war was now in overdrive. The Russians used a car bomb to assassinate the head of Unit 2245, the elite Ukrainian commando force. The commander, Col. Maksim Shapoval, was on his way to meeting with C.I.A. officers in Kyiv when his car exploded. At the colonel’s wake, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, stood in mourning beside the C.I.A. station chief. Later, C.I.A. officers and their Ukrainian counterparts toasted Colonel Shapoval with whiskey shots. “For all of us,” General Kondratiuk said, “it was a blow.”

14) Tiptoeing Around Trump The election of Mr. Trump in November 2016 put the Ukrainians and their C.I.A. partners on edge. Mr. Trump praised Mr. Putin and dismissed Russia’s role in election interference. He was suspicious of Ukraine and later tried to pressure its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to investigate his Democratic rival, Mr. Biden, resulting in Mr. Trump’s first impeachment. But whatever Mr. Trump said and did, his administration often went in the other direction. This is because Mr. Trump had put Russia hawks in key positions, including Mike Pompeo as C.I.A. director and John Bolton as national security adviser. They visited Kyiv to underline their full support for the secret partnership, which expanded to include more specialized training programs and the building of additional secret bases. The base in the forest grew to include a new command center and barracks, and swelled from 80 to 800 Ukrainian intelligence officers. Preventing Russia from interfering in future U.S. elections was a top C.I.A. priority during this period, and Ukrainian and American intelligence officers joined forces to probe the computer systems of Russia’s intelligence agencies to identify operatives trying to manipulate voters.

15) In one joint operation, a HUR team duped an officer from Russia's  military intelligence service into providing information that allowed the C.I.A. to connect Russia’s government to the so-called Fancy Bear hacking group, which had been linked to election interference efforts in a number of countries. General Budanov, whom Mr. Zelensky tapped to lead the HUR in 2020, said of the partnership: “It only strengthened. It grew systematically. The cooperation expanded to additional spheres and became more large-scale.” The relationship was so successful that the C.I.A. wanted to replicate it with other European intelligence services that shared a focus in countering Russia. The head of Russia House, the C.I.A. department overseeing operations against Russia, organized a secret meeting at The Hague. There, representatives from the C.I.A., Britain’s MI6, the HUR, the Dutch service (a critical intelligence ally) and other agencies agreed to start pooling together more of their intelligence on Russia. The result was a secret coalition against Russia — and the Ukrainians were vital members of it.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

16) March to War In March 2021, the Russian military started massing troops along the border with Ukraine. As the months passed, and more troops encircled the country, the question was whether Mr. Putin was making a feint or preparing for war. That November, and in the weeks that followed, the C.I.A. and MI6 delivered a unified message to their Ukrainian partners: Russia was preparing for a full-scale invasion to decapitate the government ([6]) and install a puppet in Kyiv who would do the Kremlin’s bidding. U.S. and British intelligence agencies had intercepts that Ukrainian intelligence agencies did not have access to, according to U.S. officials. The new intelligence listed the names of Ukrainian officials whom the Russians were planning to kill or capture, as well as the Ukrainians the Kremlin hoped to install in power. President Zelensky and some of his top advisors appeared unconvinced, even after Mr. Burns, the C.I.A. director, rushed to Kyiv in January 2022 to brief them. As the Russian invasion neared, C.I.A. and MI6 officers made final visits in Kyiv with their Ukrainian peers. One of the MI6 officers teared up in front of the Ukrainians, out of concern that the Russians would kill them. At Mr. Burns’s urging, a small group of C.I.A. officers were exempted from the broader U.S. evacuation and were relocated to a hotel complex in western Ukraine. They didn’t want to desert their partners. [6] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/12/16/world/europe/russia-putin-war-failures-ukraine.html

17) No Endgame After Mr. Putin launched the invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the C.I.A. officers at the hotel were the only U.S. government presence on the ground. Every day at the hotel, they met with their Ukrainian contacts to pass information. The old handcuffs were off, and the Biden White House authorized spy agencies to provide intelligence support for lethal operations against Russian forces on Ukrainian soil. Often, the C.I.A. briefings contained shockingly specific details. On March 3, 2022 — the eighth day of the war — the C.I.A. team gave a precise overview of Russian plans for the coming two weeks. The Russians would open a humanitarian corridor out of the besieged city of Mariupol that same day, and then open fire on the Ukrainians who used it. The Russians planned to encircle the strategic port city of Odessa, according to the C.I.A., but a storm delayed the assault and the Russians never took the city. Then, on March 10, the Russians intended to bombard six Ukrainian cities, and had already entered coordinates into cruise missiles for those strikes. The Russians also were trying to assassinate top Ukrainian officials, including Mr. Zelensky. In at least one case, the C.I.A. shared intelligence with Ukraine’s domestic agency that helped disrupt a plot against the president, according to a senior Ukrainian official. When the Russian assault on Kyiv had stalled, the C.I.A. station chief rejoiced and told his Ukrainian counterparts that they were “punching the Russians in the face,” according to a Ukrainian officer who was in the room.

18) Within weeks the C.I.A. had returned to Kyiv, and the agency sent in scores of new officers to help the Ukrainians. A senior U.S. official said of the C.I.A.’s sizable presence, “Are they pulling triggers? No. Are they helping with targeting? Absolutely.” Some of the C.I.A. officers were deployed to Ukrainian bases. They reviewed lists of potential Russian targets that the Ukrainians were preparing to strike, comparing the information that the Ukrainians had with U.S. intelligence to ensure that it was accurate. Before the invasion, the C.I.A. and MI6 had trained their Ukrainian counterparts on recruiting sources, and building clandestine and partisan networks. In the southern Kherson region, which was occupied by Russia in the first weeks of the war, those partisan networks sprang into action, according to General Kondratiuk, assassinating local collaborators and helping Ukrainian forces target Russian positions. In July 2022, Ukrainian spies saw Russian convoys preparing to cross a strategic bridge across the Dnipro river and notified MI6. British and American intelligence officers then quickly verified the Ukrainian intelligence, using real-time satellite imagery. MI6 relayed the confirmation, and the Ukrainian military opened fire with rockets, destroying the convoys. At the underground bunker, General Dvoretskiy said a German antiaircraft system now defends against Russian attacks. An air-filtration system guards against chemical weapons and a dedicated power system is available, if the power grid goes down. The question that some Ukrainian intelligence officers are now asking their American counterparts — as Republicans in the House weigh whether to cut off billions of dollars in aid — is whether the C.I.A. will abandon them. “It happened in Afghanistan before and now it’s going to happen in Ukraine,” a senior Ukrainian officer said. Referring to Mr. Burns’s visit to Kyiv last week, a C.I.A. official said, “We have demonstrated a clear commitment to Ukraine over many years and this visit was another strong signal that the U.S. commitment will continue.” The C.I.A. and the HUR have built two other secret bases to intercept Russian communications, and combined with the 12 forward operating bases, which General Kondratiuk says are still operational, the HUR now collects and produces more intelligence than at any time in the war — much of which it shares with the C.I.A. “You can’t get information like this anywhere — except here, and now,” General Dvoretskiy said.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

19/ But how do we know if the U.S. started this war or if Ukraine did? Well there are some very coincidental occurances related to the Maidan "revolution". Back in 2016 Lindsey Graham and John McCain visited Ukraine and held a speech in front of Ukrainian soldiers, telling them you're fight is our fight, we (USA) will push the case against Russia and "enough with the Russian aggression" It means they knew, never wanted peace and pushed for this war all along.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

6/ But in 2014 after the so-called revolution, the new Kiev regime began to become very hostile towards the population in the Donbass region. Even in the media on News Channel Hromadske journalist Bogdan Butkovich states that the genocide of 1.5 Million people in Donbass region is justifiable. Let's look at who funds the Hromadske tv channel (NGO). Most of the funding comes from the Dutch Embassy who gave 793,089 Ukrainian hryvnias (aprox €20.000 or $21.400) followed by the US Embassy and Soros International Renaissance Foundation http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hromadske

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov: I specifically found the original of this speech by the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands, Kaisi Ollongren. I'm posting it here on purpose. It needs to be played and shown to all Ukrainians. So that they can see that smile. So that they finally realize what a cheap consumable Europe considers them to be. So that they finally understand that the war “to the last Ukrainian” is not a figure of speech. So, the literal translation of the words of this cynical Dutch Nazi: “It is very much in our interests to support Ukraine. Because they are fighting this war, not us... I think we also need to be involved in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends. Because they have the same interest. Because supporting Ukraine is a very cheap way to ensure that Russia and this regime cease to be a threat to NATO allies. Therefore, it is vital that we continue to support him.” VERY CHEAP METHOD!!! This is how much Ukraine and Ukrainian lives are valued in the West! Do the Ukrainians themselves still not see and understand this?!! - kornilov1968

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

🇺🇦🇷🇺🧵 Many don't know what happened in Ukraine before February 2022. Let me help you in the next tweets (not necessarily chronological order)

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

1) March 18th 2014. Crimea holds a referendum in which a large majority (93+%) vote for joining Russia. I often hear the people were forced or the military presence influenced the voting. This footage tells me the reality is quite different.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

2) April 27th, 2014. Lugansk declared being a sovereign state. Always keep in mind these people were born and raised there, in the "old" Russia. They didn't ask to become part of Ukraine. They have a Russian culture and traditions, what's wrong with that? Part 1

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

3) Lugansk People's Republic declare state sovereignty. I see lots of joyful people with Russian flags. These are ordinary people just wanting to live their lives and be able to speak their own language. Would you agree if your government would force you to use another language?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

4) April 13th. 2014. Oleksandr Turchynov launches the "anti terrorist operation" against the "separatists" as they are conveniently called. Do these people look like terrorists? Even the ordinary military clearly had problems fulfilling their tasks.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

5) From that moment the people of the Donbass were declared enemies. Let's look at what they thought of it. Keep remembering this was long before February 2022! For 8 long years these people have been subjected to the Kiev regime terror.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

6) Ordinary people that saw their lives being ruined. Their cities being destroyed. Till the point they don't know how to continue. Is this a democracy?

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

7) The WW2 Saur Mogila monument in southern Donetsk was destroyed by uitslapen Ukrainian military in September 2014. This lady was born in a camp in Germany during American bombardments is furious about the Ukrainian fascists.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

8) On April 25th. 2019, after several attempts the Ukrainian Verchovna Rada finally managed to ban the Russian language, the law says that the only language that can be used in all spheres of life is the Ukrainian language.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

9) May 2nd 2014, Odessa. Angry crowd attacks peaceful protesters outside the union building. The crowd set the building on fire after the protesters flee inside.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

10) Odessa. The ones trying to escape the fire or jump out the windows are being shot at or beaten to death. No investigation has ever been conducted and nobody was held responsible or brought to justice.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

11) May 11th, Donetsk People's Republic declares independence.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

12) May 9th, 2014 Mariupol. Extreme right Azov battalion sets fire to a police station. More than 100 people die. Part 1

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

13) Part 2. Petro Symonenko speaks the truth in the Parlament but he is being blocked by interim president Oleksandr Turchynov.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

14) June 2nd 2014. Ukrainian planes bomb the Lugansk city centre were civilians are totally caught by surprise. I left the extremely gore part out... But exactly that shows what the Kiev regime is capable of. This was a deliberate attack on ordinary civilians.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

15) Of the president of your country would address you in this way. Would you accept or resist? We are that the people of Crimea understood very quickly this was not their government. I don't think these people needed any force to vote for joining Russia.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

16) Poroschenko didn't pay pensions to the "separatists". Who came to their rescue? The "evil" Putin.

@TaranQ - Jos Quinten

17) Though the story in West was that Putin had annexed Crimea and would suppress all minorities there, what they didn't report is that Putin enacted a law that rehabilitated all minorities ever deported from Crimea, the have all the rights and right of compensation.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🧵Large pro-Russia rally in Bakhmut (then and now Artyomovsk), March 1, 2014. The people were demanding a referendum, after the Kiev government was "Nulandized",(referring) to Victoria Nuland. They refused to accept the illegitimate US puppet regime and the degradation of their basic human and democratic rights. A feature of ultranationalist, quasi-fascist ideology is the persecution of ethnic minority "racial impurities". Not long after this rally, the people of the city were brutally suppressed by the illegitimate US Maidanist regime. Caption for the video reads: 1.3.2014.
