CIA's New Video Targets Russian Double Agents
TL;DR
The CIA has released a Russian-language video on social media in an attempt to recruit Russian intelligence employees as double agents, targeting those disaffected by the war in Ukraine. The video appeals to patriotic Russians working in intelligence agencies who may feel betrayed by corruption and inadequate military resources. The Kremlin has dismissed the video, stating that such recruitment practices are common and emphasizing that Russian social networks like VKontakte are more popular than the platforms used by the CIA.
