Daily Mirror: The United States is seeking covert support for Ukrainian forces
According to IRNA on Tuesday, the website of the Daily Mirror reported in this regard: The senior US intelligence officials have secretly agreed to help the Ukrainian forces in equipping weapons and training how to participate in a guerrilla war in case of a Russian attack on Ukraine. .
The Daily Mirror reports that meetings were recently held with senior CIA and US intelligence officials to discuss how to prevent Russian forces from advancing on Ukrainian territory.
Earlier, some media outlets reported that Russia had deployed more than 175,000 troops in eastern Ukraine and intended to take new action against Kiev.
A Western intelligence source told the Daily Mirror that US intelligence agencies had held meetings on how to help Ukraine defend itself against a possible Russian attack. The US military budget for the aid to Ukraine was about 580 million pounds, but it was reported that special US military trainers were to be deployed in Ukraine.
The United States and its allies claim that the presence of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border is a threat to the country, and that Putin is planning to attack Kiev. Moscow has repeatedly said its military actions on the border with Ukraine are normal, but the United States and its allies continue to seek to escalate tensions on Russia’s border with Ukraine.
Washington and Kiev have recently told their European allies that the movement of troops on the border with Ukraine indicates Moscow’s new readiness to attack Ukraine. Ukraine has called on the United States to put immediate security support, including intelligence, on its agenda.
The Biden administration, meanwhile, worries that Russia’s intentions toward Ukraine could divert Washington-Moscow talks on cyberattacks and arms control.
The Donbas region is located in the east of Ukraine with a Russian population, and since 2014, the Russians of this region have established the two self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and have formed local governments independent of the Ukrainian government.
Russia has repeatedly called on the Ukrainian government to negotiate with representatives of the two regions to reach an agreement and resolve their differences, but Kiev accuses Moscow of supporting and encouraging separatists and refuses to negotiate with representatives of these regions.
