CIA Director William Burns made the secret trip late last week to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on what the American intelligence agency expects to see from Russia in the months ahead. The visit, just weeks before the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion, comes as Ukraine’s allies in Europe and the U.S. struggle to convince their citizens of the importance of funding Kyiv’s counteroffensive. Zelenskyy would likely have been briefed on a $2.5 billion security package announced Thursday by the Pentagon. Burns, who warned Zelenskyy in January 2022 of Russia’s impending invasion, visited Kyiv twice late last year.
