The SBU is Ukraine\u2019s primary counterterrorism and counterintelligence agency, with much of its output focused on the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n<p>The FSB statement identified the Ukrainian man as Lieutenant Colonel Yuriy Ivanchenko, but did not release further information about his background and identity, nor did it specify the details of his activities in Russia. According to the Russians, Ivanchenko allegedly entered the country in recent weeks, ostensibly in order to visit family members who live in Russia. But his real goal, according to the FSB, was to make contact with Russian intelligence and infiltrate the country\u2019s security structure. Moscow says that Ivanchenko had planned to pose as a willing spy, namely an employee of Ukrainian intelligence who was offering to provide information to Russia. He was not a genuine spy, however, but rather a \u2018dangle\u2019 \u2014namely someone posing as a genuine spy, but who is in fact attempting to deceive a rival intelligence agency by knowingly giving it misleading or inaccurate information.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Russians claim that Ivanchenko was being jointly run by the SBU and the CIA, and that the American intelligence agency had trained him to pose as a \u2018dangle\u2019 in order to collect information about FSB activities in Ukraine. The goal of the CIA, said Moscow, was to \u201clure an FSB employee and capture him with incriminating information\u201d. However, the FSB statement said that Ivanchenko\u2019s SBU connection and CIA affiliation were known to Russia prior to his arrival in the country, as he had previously tried to offer his services to Moscow. He was therefore arrested and will be deported in the coming days with a <em>persona non grata<\/em> (unwelcome person) designation. The CIA and SBU have not commented on Russia\u2019s allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Read the Original Article at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/intelnews.org\/2016\/04\/01\/02-583\/\">IntelNews<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Russian government says it has arrested a senior Ukrainian intelligence officer, who was allegedly trained by the United States Central Intelligence Agency and tasked with infiltrating the Russian secret services.
