Dozens of FBI, CIA agents in Kiev 'assisting Ukraine security' — RT News

Numerous US agents are helping the coup-appointed government in
Ukraine to “fight organized crime” in the south east of the country, the
German newspaper Bild revealed.

According to the daily, the CIA and FBI are advising the
government in Kiev on how to deal with the ‘fight against
organized crime’ and stop the violence in the country’s restive
eastern regions.

The group also helps to investigate alleged financial crimes and
is trying to trace the money, which was reportedly taken abroad
during Viktor Yanokovich’s presidency, the newspaper said.

The head of the CIA, John Brennan, visited Kiev in mid-April and
met with the acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and first
Vice-President Vitaly Yarema to discuss a safer way to transfer
US information to Ukraine.

Jen Psaki, spokeswomen for the United States Department of State,
said that there was nothing to read into Brennan’s visit to Kiev,
and that the head of the CIA did not offer support to the
coup-appointed government in the country to help them conduct
tactical operations within Ukraine.

However, following the visit the toppled President Viktor
Yanukovich linked the CIA chief’s appearance in Kiev to the first
stage of the new government’s crackdown in Slavyansk.

Brennan “sanctioned the use of weapons and provoked
bloodshed,” Yanukovich said.
