Several members of the US intelligence community have criticized US authorities, including President Joe Biden, for news of Russia's likely "plans" to "invade" Ukraine. This is reported by Politico with reference to a number of high-ranking officials, including the CIA.
Recently, the US authorities have released a number of reports that Russia allegedly intends to "invade" Ukraine.
Nevertheless, some employees of the Central Intelligence Agency do not agree with Washington's position on the current situation.
“I am concerned about how this will affect the credibility of our intelligence with all these “declassifications” in the long term. If this information turns out to be incorrect or partially incorrect, this will undermine the trust of our partners in the information that we provide them, ”the ex-officer of the department emphasized.
Politico believes that the opinion about the aggravation of the situation by the United States in relation to the Russian Federation is in the minority in the intelligence community.
"Traditional warfare has always been about subduing your opponents," Gavin Wild, a former U.S. intelligence officer who specializes in Russia and information warfare, added.
Russia has repeatedly denied plans with an alleged "invasion" of the territory of Ukraine.
Earlier, the American media told how Russia should be punished in case of an attack on Ukraine.
