On May 4, former British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) Chief Sir Richard Dearlove delivered a public report-back on his trip to Ukraine last week, which confirmed everything this news agency has charged about the British hands-on orchestration of Ukraine’s suicidal war against Russia on NATO’s behalf. Accompanied by his “advisor,” retired British Army and NATO officer Gen. Sir Richard Shirreff, and the rabidly anti-China, anti-Russia head of the British House of Commons Defense Committee Tobias Ellwood, Dearlove reported on his extensive meetings “mostly with very senior officials on the security side,” many of whose names he said it would be “indiscreet” to mention.
He did name, however, the posts of eight of the officials he had met with: the head of the National Security and Defense Council, the Assistant Minister of Defense, the head of military procurement, the Prosecutor General “who is the man who indicted Putin,” the head of a drone design and production “start-up,” the head of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada’s Defense Committee, the official in charge of EU integration, and the head of the Foreign Intelligence. The latter merited an especially long meeting, he confided, because he plays a very important role behind the scenes,
EIR reported last week on Dearlove’s admission that he had made it clear to his hosts that no negotiated solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict would be allowed.

• That he had discussed the breakup of Russia, along with the alleged “massive stresses and strains in the Kremlin” which would be exacerbated by any Ukrainian military breakthrough. Dearlove coyly commented that, while he personally does not think Russia will shatter, the situation is “very, very potent.”
• That the Ukrainian leadership are “masters of strategic deception,” have digitized the entire battlefield, and have been particularly “creative” in their ability to design, produce, and deploy drones on the battlefield quickly.
• That F-16 strategic fighter jets need to be supplied to Ukraine so that they can fly “deep into Russian territory,” as co-host Macfarlane put it, to hit the strategic targets—ammo depots, field command centers and strategic sites which you would want to bomb—which are currently out of reach. Ukraine also should be given a sustained supply of tanks (preferably Leopard 2s) and sophisticated infantry and weapons training, because they have lost many of their most experienced military officers and infantry troops.
• That NATO should extend long-term “security guarantees” to Ukraine at the July 11-12, 2023 summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, de facto incorporating them into NATO.
• And that Dearlove’s regular podcast is followed very closely in Kiev. (https://www.ivoox.com/en/exclusive-former-head-of-mi6-visited-ukraine-here-s-audios-mp3_rf_107538821_1.html )
