The New York Times has published an explosive exposé that documents how the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency funded and equipped a dozen secret military basis inside Ukraine along the Russian border in part of a CIA program that was established a decade ago.
“The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency started working in Ukraine before the coup in 2014, training people to carry out sabotage work against Russia, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a news conference.
‘The CIA, other relevant US agencies, they started working actively in Ukraine even before 2014; started actively recruiting people, training these people for sabotage work against our country’, Peskov said in response to a question from TASS. ‘This is not a secret’.
‘The work of the so-called American advisers, most of whom were CIA staff, is well known’, Peskov said. ‘They had fine workplaces in the building of the Ukrainian presidential administration’". -TASS

The report also details the CIA’s efforts to undermine the Trump administration and its policies, stating that the president “had to be tiptoed around” in order to hide the full scope of the program from him.
