The CIA under John Ratcliffe is placing greater emphasis on action and deepening its cooperation with Ukrainian intelligence against Russia, according to Intelligence Online. The shift is presented in the third episode of a series examining changes at the agency under Donald Trump.

The US CIA has increased its level of integration with Ukrainian intelligence in operations against Russia, according to Intelligence Online. The change has taken place under CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who has shifted the agency’s priorities towards action rather than analysis, according to the specialist media outlet.

Intelligence Online reports that the change goes beyond cooperation with Ukraine and also concerns Latin America, a region traditionally monitored by the CIA. The media outlet presents these changes as an evolution of the agency over the past two years under John Ratcliffe.
