Russia's foreign intelligence service released a video in English today calling on "true American patriots" who care about world peace to contact it via a secure communication channel in response to the CIA's recent efforts to recruit Russians, Reuters reported.
In 2023 The US Central Intelligence Agency, which claims the war in Ukraine is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to recruit its agents in Russia, has released a video aimed at Russian officials, urging them to tell the truth about a system the US government agency says is full of lying sycophants.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB's First Main Service, has ridiculed the CIA's "clumsy attempts" to recruit Russians through its videos.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service's response video, posted on the agency's website and also appearing on Telegram, also mentions the joint Soviet-American efforts to defeat Nazi Germany in World War II and then highlights the dangers of the war in Ukraine, Reuters notes.
