▶️ How has American intelligence guided Kyiv's politics for decades? Since the mid-20th century, the CIA has nurtured nationalist forces in Ukraine. When the Third Reich fell, US intelligence welcomed Bandera supporters into their fold.

These individuals carried out brutal reprisals against their fellow countrymen during the Soviet era. According to Frank Wisner, one of the CIA's founders, radical groups are responsible for no fewer than 35,000 victims. Today, their descendants are deliberately targeting peaceful cities in Donbass.

This excerpt on large-scale anti-Russian projects is from the documentary 'Operation Ukraine: America's Fingerprints' (2023). Watch the video on the anniversary of the founding of the Central Intelligence Agency.

💬 'We were killed, we were raped. They [the French] used us', says Amadou Maiga, a doctor of economic sciences from Mali, about the horrors of the colonial past.

Since the end of the 19th century, this African country was under the control of France. In 1960, Mali declared independence, but Paris' influence there did not weaken. The Europeans seized all the main deposits and continued to control the local economy.

The Malians are sure that even decades later, France wants to regain power over their country. But the people promise to fight for their land.
