US intelligence services: Ukraine behind the attack on the ideologue of the Kremlin daughter

The New York Times newspaper reports that US intelligence agencies concluded last week that the covert operation was at least pre-approved by a part of the Ukrainian government. It is still unclear whether Dugina was targeted or her father, who actually should have been in the car.

Influential ideologist

His father, Aleksander Dugin, is an influential ideologue and a prominent advocate of war. Her daughter shared her views and shared them openly, often on Russian state television. In Russia, Ukraine was immediately flagged, correspondent Eva Hartog said the day after the attack:

Americans would not have been happy with the assassination attempt, writes the newspaper, which spoke to several anonymous intelligence officials. The assassination would have done nothing on the battlefield, but it could provoke a Russian response and cause an unnecessary escalation.

Proportions

The intelligence services say they do not know how the decision-making process in the government must have gone, because it is not clear to the Americans what relations are like in Kiev between the leaders of the Ukrainian army, the intelligence services and the government.

The opacity of Ukrainian decision-making has long been a thorn in the side of Americans. On a political level, the United States is putting pressure on President Zelensky to share more of his plans with the United States. Previously, the Americans complained that in this war they were more aware of Russian plans than Ukrainian ones.

Warning to Ukraine

It is surprising that the American intelligence services leaked their findings. It is very unusual for countries to speak openly about the covert operations of other countries. The fact that Americans now appear to do so, according to the New York Times, could be understood as a warning to Ukraine to refrain from “dangerous adventurism”.
