"Advantage of Authoritarian Countries": In Britain, how the war changed the special services - Air Force

According to the heads of the American and British special services, the intelligence should be made public as the population and the civil sector can assist in the fight against the aggressor. The Russian-Ukrainian war marked a radical change in the disclosure of intelligence. Yes, Washington and London took an unusual step, publishing their knowledge of Russia's plans before its invasion of Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the GCQ intelligence agency Jeremy Fleming, the BBC writes.

In addition, the head of American intelligence Avril Heins said that all years have been removed, including limiting such steps to the publication of intelligence. The intelligence chiefs discussed how important it is for special services to understand their work against the background of Russia's war with Ukraine. Jeremy said that Ukraine witnessed a new type of conflict where intelligence was at the forefront.

Haynes agreed that the war between Ukraine and Russia clearly showed that countries could not cope with any threat without partners or allies. The declassification of Russia's plans for invasion had to restrain Moscow, as well as to refute the Kremlin's statements that the Russian Federation is allegedly defending. According to Heins, it is necessary to keep ordinary citizens in the course of events and to be involved in discussion, although there are restrictions.

For example, in Russia, the efforts to exchange intelligence data "had virtually no importance" because of the Kremlin's control over information flows within the country. Moreover, it also spread to other countries that began to believe in Russia's wrong statements about the involvement of the West before the war. "One of their main narratives is that the United States provoke this conflict, and that NATO and Ukraine are threatening Russia," she said.

According to her, authoritarian countries have an advantage because they control information for their population. Jeremy noted that it supports dramatic changes in the declassification of certain intelligence and using them for "preliminary exposure". The civil sector played an important role, whether satellite images from providers or the operation of corporations such as Microsoft. Earlier, Focus wrote that WP journalists told how the successes of the Armed Forces changed the course of war.

Journalists said they interviewed more than 35 people during the investigation, including Ukrainian commanders, officials in Kiev and combat units, as well as high -ranking American and European military and political figures. It was also reported that Yermak told how he sees the end of the war in Ukraine. While communicating with journalists, the head of the OP also stressed that in the future Vladimir Putin is waiting for an international tribunal like the Nuremberg process.
