U.S. Spies Said No Russian Invasion of Ukraine—Putin Disagreed


The Daily Beast has an important scoop on the US Intelligence failure on Ukraine, read it all. Here is the key paragraph: Despite Russia placing 150,000 troops near Ukraine, John Kerry’s team didn’t think Putin would invade Ukraine because Putin’s people said they wouldn’t.

“There was good reason to think Putin wouldn’t do it. Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov told Secretary of State John Kerry that Russia respected the territorial integrity of the Ukraine. U.S. intelligence assessments concluded that the 150,000-man Russian military exercises announced by Putin on Wednesday were not preparations for an invasion of Ukraine because no medical units accompanied the troops. And Russian and U.S. diplomats were still working on Iran and Syrian diplomacy. All of this followed a successful Winter Olympic games for Putin’s Russia.” [Full]
