NYT: Biden Admin Secretly Involved in Ukraine War ‘Far More Than Previously Known’

Summary from the AllSides News Team

A new investigative report from The New York Times (Lean Left bias) goes deep on “the untold story of America’s hidden role in Ukrainian military operations” and found “America was woven into the war far more than previously known.”

The Details: The March 29 report, which runs over 13,000 words, digs into several ways the Biden administration boosted Ukraine’s war effort, including providing battlefield assistance from a U.S. base in Germany and having the U.S. military and CIA guide strikes on Russian territory. The report outlines how Biden’s administration became more deeply involved as the conflict went on and “kept moving its red lines.”

For Context: To compile the report, reporter Adam Entous “conducted more than 300 interviews over more than a year with government, military and intelligence officials in Ukraine, the United States, Britain, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Turkey.” Entous also published a shorter 1,000-word piece of “key takeaways” from his report.

How The Media Covered It: As of Monday morning, the report has not been widely covered by Western mainstream media. ZeroHedge (Lean Right) opened its coverage by claiming The Times’ report “is years too late and alternative and independent media had already done so much work on exposing the reality.” ZeroHedge added that “mainstream media gatekeepers” are changing tunes now that “Ukrainian forces clearly losing.” The Kyiv Independent (Center) highlighted the Biden administration’s “anger” and “panic” in April 2022 after it told Ukraine it had identified Russia’s Moskva battleship, and Kyiv immediately neutralized it without a “heads-up.”

On a spring morning two months after Vladimir Putin’s invading armies marched into Ukraine, a convoy of unmarked cars slid up to a Kyiv street corner and collected two middle-aged men in civilian clothes.

Leaving the city, the convoy — manned by British commandos, out of uniform but heavily armed — traveled 400 miles west to the Polish border. The crossing was seamless, on diplomatic passports. Farther on, they came to the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, where an idling C-130 cargo plane waited.

NYT: Biden administration was 'surprised,' 'angry' by Ukraine's sinking of the Moskva in 2022
News

There was "anger," "surprise," and "panic" among the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden after Ukraine sunk the Mosvka, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, a report published by the New York Times on March 29 suggests.

The Moskva sank on April 14, 2022, after being struck by two Ukrainian R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. The attack marked one of Kyiv’s most significant early victories in the full-scale war and dealt a major blow to Russia’s Black Sea fleet.

It is years too late and alternative and independent media had already done so much work on exposing the reality, including 600+ page books which have been published, but the New York Times on Sunday is out with a lengthy report on The Partnership: The Secret History of America’s Role in the Ukraine War.

Up until very recently, mainstream media gatekeepers wouldn't so much as admit that a proxy war has been unfolding from the very start of the conflict in Ukraine. This even after the so-called paper of record had earlier in Feb. 2024 acknowledged that the CIA had...
