The US spy chief reportedly met with Ukraine’s president and vowed continued “intelligence sharing”
CIA Director William Burns made an unannounced stop in Ukraine in order to pass intelligence to the country’s military and hold discussions with President Vladimir Zelensky, where he reiterated Washington’s commitments to back Kiev for the long-haul, according to CNN.
The agency head visited the war-torn nation earlier this month, the outlet reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed US official.
“While there, he reinforced the US commitment to provide support to Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, including continued intelligence sharing,” the official said, offering no other details about the trip.
Burns last visited Ukraine at the beginning of the year, before Russia attacked its neighbor in late February, meeting with officials in Kiev to discuss the then-impending military action.
