Wed 17 May 2023:
The US Central Intelligence Agency Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has created a video in which it appeals to Russian military and intelligence professionals, diplomats, and scientists to spy for the US.
The video, which was posted on the CIA’s official YouTube page and features a male voiceover, subtitles, and a description in Russian, depicts a man and a woman who decide to begin working for the CIA.
“The CIA wants to know the truth about Russia, and we are looking for reliable people who know and can tell us this truth. Your information may be more valuable than you think,” the voice says.
The text accompanying the video says that Russians can contact the CIA “securely” via the Tor browser. It provides a link for instructions on how to use Tor, a system for anonymous online communication.
“Are you a military officer? Do you work in the field of intelligence, diplomacy, science, high technology, or do you deal with people who do this? Do you have information about the economy or the top leadership of the Russian Federation? Contact us,” it says.
Asked about the video, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he had not paid attention to it, but added: “I am convinced that our special services are monitoring this space in the necessary way.”
He added: “We all know perfectly well that the CIA and other Western intelligence services are not reducing their activity on the territory of our country.”
Some Russians reacted sceptically to the video on social media, saying it looked like a “provocation” by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
