Klingons assist assassination efforts in Ukraine
BLUF:
[ZERO] Darya Dugina's killing was one among dozens of high profile killings and sabotage bombings carried out by Ukrainian intelligence - with the supporting help of US counterparts - which has also included two large attacks on the Kerch Strait bridge.

However, as expected the sources speaking to the Post tried to put some distance between the CIA and direct involvement in the assassinations. The officials claim the CIA only served a support role, or what amounts to "bolstering those services’ abilities to gather intelligence on a dangerous adversary." Of course, the Kremlin is not going to see things this way, nor would any country coming within the CIA's crosshairs.

#3 Re "aren't busy enough here"
The issue is so many of the CIA operators are pre trained for Russian, so it just sorta leaks out. It's what they know how to do.

#4 I remember years ago there was an acute shortage of Serbian speaking/reading analysts. Certain parties threw together an adhoc transition course for Russian analysts. It was called "Turbo-Serbo." Few if any achieved native speaking proficiency, but it reduced the shortage.

Should turn them loose on the big city Russian Mafia.
