CIA Looking to Capitalize on Russian Disapproval of War to Gather Intelligence
CIA Looking to Capitalize , on Russian Disapproval of War, to Gather Intelligence.
On May 16, the United States Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) posted a new recruitment video
online aimed at disaffected Russian citizens.
CNN reports that the CIA is trying to
capitalize on an "unprecedented" opportunity
to convince Russians to share state secrets.
That opportunity stems from
Russian opposition to the war in Ukraine
and disillusionment by life in Russia.
CIA officials have also pointed to Russia's crackdown
on oppositional voices, journalists and the number
of Russian soldiers dying on the front.
[Putin’s] military continues to suffer heavy losses and manpower and materiel.
When he undertook a partial mobilization late last year far more Russians of military age fled the country than the Kremlin managed to round up and send to the front as cannon fodder, William Burns, CIA Director, April 2023 speech, via CNN.

Disaffection with the war will continue
to gnaw away at the Russian leadership

According to former CIA head of counterintelligence
James Olsen, the agency's latest efforts are
taking advantage of a unique opportunity.
There are a lot of disaffected Russians
out there now, they’re ashamed and
disgusted by what [Putin is] doing to
their brother and sister Slavs in Ukraine.

He’s destroying Russia.
He’s killing
Russian boys.
And there are good
people in Russia, including intelligence

Hamas announced on Friday its intention to send a delegation to Cairo to discuss a potential hostages-for-truce agreement with Israel. This development coincided with the arrival of US CIA Director William Burns in the Egyptian capital, as reported by Egyptian sources. Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, has been actively mediating between Israel and Hamas, aiming to broker a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, which escalated following Hamas's devastating attack on October 7. According to an Egyptian security source, Hamas and CIA representatives are scheduled to meet Egyptian mediators on Saturday. However, it remains unclear whether these meetings will be held separately or together. Hamas expressed its delegation's positive outlook towards the discussions after reviewing the latest truce proposal, affirming its determination to secure an agreement that meets Palestinian demands. While the United States has acknowledged some progress in the negotiations, the CIA declined to comment, adhering to its policy of not disclosing the director's travel details.

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, a new tactical emblem has been observed on Russian military equipment near Kharkiv. This symbol, characterised by a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses, indicates a significant escalation in Russia's military operations, particularly in the Kharkiv Region. According to reports from OSINT Defender, this emblem is linked to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine, with Russian forces actively attempting to breach Ukrainian defences, notably around Vovchansk. These symbols serve as identification friend or foe (IFF) measures in conflict zones, aiming to prevent friendly fire. Notably, the 'Z' marking, prominent during the 2022 Ukraine invasion, became a symbol of Russian support for the war effort.
