Intelligence Agencies' Shadow Fight in Europe

John Sipher worked for the CIA’s clandestine service for 28 years. Nowadays he is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, the co-founder of Spycraft Entertainment, and regularly contributes to the New York Times, Washington Post, and the Atlantic.

In his interview for the European Resilience Initiative Center, John tells how Ukrainian intelligence agencies managed to crack Russian war plans, why the Germans refused to see a Russian threat, and how Europe can create new security order after the Russo-Ukrainian war.
