Yahoo News has learned about a covert CIA training program for Ukrainian special forces since 2015.
The United States has a secret program to train the Ukrainian military, according to the American press. A secret training program for Ukrainian special forces under the auspices of the CIA has allegedly been operating since 2015. What is known about her?
Tasks
According to Yahoo News sources, carefully selected Ukrainian fighters are training in camps in the southern United States. The program was launched during the administration of Barack Obama, but the subsequent administrations of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, for all their differences, only expanded it. The main emphasis of the training was on intelligence gathering, sources insist, but graduates of the program could play an important role in organizing guerrilla warfare in occupied territory if Russia decides to launch a full-scale invasion. “Everything that happened to us in Afghanistan, they will eat it up to their throats with these guys,” a former high-ranking American intelligence officer was quoted by Yahoo News (of course, anonymously).

Taking into account Russia
Interestingly, the CIA was extremely cautious in its approach to cooperation with the Ukrainian special services, believing that they were stuffed with Russian agents. The Americans insisted that all Ukrainian structures associated with this program be isolated as much as possible from the main part of the power structures. Training took place in strict secrecy, and there were cases when Ukrainians were sent home already from the United States for such violations as possession of unaccounted for electronic devices. Under the Trump administration, it was decided not to tell the Ukrainians anything that must be kept secret from the Russians.
