1. [Paywall removed here](https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/29/world/europe/us-ukraine-military-war-wiesbaden.html), but notably:

   * A new command center was built in Wiesbaden by the US, overseeing HIMARS launches and handling 66.5 billion dollars in weapons.

   * CIA, NSA, and DIA personnel collaborated closely with Ukrainian officers.

   * HIMARS launches required a US key card for authorization and Ukraine couldn’t initiate without American approval.

   * The US provided coordinates for strikes on Russia’s 58th Army HQ, Sevastopol, and Crimea bases.

   * CIA involvement included planning a drone strike deep into Russian territory, approximately 290 miles in.

   * Over 100 ATACMS strikes in Crimea were coordinated, resulting in significant damage to Russian ships and depots.

   * Current operations require special White House approval for any CIA-backed strikes inside Russia.

   Yet somehow, for the last three years, the very suggestion that the US and its allies have been deeply embedded in a proxy war with Russia has been instantly dismissed as ‘russian disinformation’ 🤔?

2. Funny how even suggesting the idea that the U.S. was heavily involved with more than just funding and supplies would get you banned from certain Ukrainian subs even a couple months ago.
