Russia's SVR Urges American Patriots to Connect via Video

Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has released an English-language video inviting 'true American patriots' to connect with the agency in response to the CIA's recruitment efforts targeting Russians amid the Ukraine conflict. The SVR ridiculed the CIA's attempts as 'clumsy' and ineffective, while emphasizing the historical collaboration between the U.S. and Soviet Union during World War II. Their video blends nostalgic images with scenes from the ongoing war in Ukraine, underscoring the dangers posed by U.S. support for Kyiv. The SVR asserts that there are many Americans who oppose Washington's backing of the Ukrainian government. The video ends with instructions for Americans to contact the SVR via the secure TOR network, suggesting a potential shift in intelligence strategies. This release coincides with speculation about former President Trump's intentions to facilitate an end to the Ukraine war.
