The Times: A special squad operates in Ukraine, whose targets are determined via the CIA satellite

October 4, 2025

A special squad operates in Ukraine, whose targets are determined using a satellite of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This is reported by the British newspaper The Times.

Publication material indicates that this unit is officially a special police squad, which closely cooperates with the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. In a conversation with The Times, the squad leader said the group chooses its own targets: potential tasks are displayed on a tablet with an app synchronized with the CIA satellite.

According to the Times, the bulk of special forces missions now consist of dropping bombs and adjusting artillery fire.

Earlier, the British newspaper The Times published an article on the possible consequences of the Chinese leader’s trip to Moscow for the West. The material indicates that the United States and its allies risk completely losing their influence over the countries of the “Global South” – China, India, Brazil, South Africa.
