In the United States and Britain, they believe that the war in Ukraine has caused a “revolution” in the declassification of intelligence.
The head of the British agency GCHQ (Government Communications Center), Jeremy Fleming, and the head of American intelligence, Avril Gaines, believe that the war in Ukraine has fundamentally changed the principles of declassifying intelligence data. On Thursday, December 29, wrote BBC News.
In particular, they believe that the war in Ukraine has reversed the principles by which the secret services make their information public.
According to Fleming, intelligence plays an important role in this battle. His words are confirmed by Gaines, who believes that the declassification of data does indeed play an important role.
“Of course, we tried to compare our data with the disinformation spread by Russia. We saw that the Kremlin was trying to create an information background for the invasion, and we wanted to refute it, help people understand that this is false information.
It is very important to share what we see. Engaging people in the discussion is critical. We were able to make a difference. At the same time, we clearly have more influence in the West than in the rest of the world,” Avril Gaines said.
In Russia, he said, these efforts have “almost failed” because of the Kremlin’s tight control over the domestic information space.
Russia, he said, has also tried to take advantage of open information channels in the West to advance its agenda and increase divisions in society.
As a result, some countries began to believe Moscow’s false claims.
Fleming, who worked in intelligence for 30 years, said he gave the green light to the release of the information, although most of the world did not fully accept the intelligence arguments and did not fully believe the Western version of how the battle will develop. . He also believes that appeals must be made to those outside the government and special services.
“Private companies play an important role in the conflict: they can, for example, provide satellite images that confirm intelligence claims about a buildup of Russian troops near the borders, or help Ukraine in cyber defense – tech giants like Microsoft have done it,” Fleming said.
It should be noted that the capital of the Russian Federation, Moscow, was visited by Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar and the head of Turkish intelligence Hakan Fidan.
Earlier, British intelligence assessed the possibility of expanding the Russian army.
