The heads of the British and American foreign intelligence agencies said Saturday that Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s surprise incursion into Russia is a significant achievement that could change the narrative of the grinding 2 1/2-year war, as they urged Kyiv's allies not to be held back by Russian threats of escalation.Richard Moore, the head of MI6, said Kyiv바카라 게임 웹사이트�s surprise August offensive to seize territory in Russia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Kursk region was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�typically audacious and bold on the part of the Ukrainians, to try and change the game.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He said the offensive 바카라 게임 웹사이트� which Ukraine said has captured about 1,300 square kilometers (500 square miles) of Russian territory 바카라 게임 웹사이트� had 바카라 게임 웹사이트�brought the war home to ordinary Russians.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Related video above: CIA director on Gaza cease-fireSpeaking alongside Moore at an unprecedented joint public event in London, CIA Director William Burns said the offensive was a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�significant tactical achievement바카라 게임 웹사이트� that had exposed vulnerabilities in the Russian military.It has yet to be seen whether Ukraine can turn the gains into a long-term advantage. So far the offensive has not drawn Russian President Vladimir Putin바카라 게임 웹사이트�s focus away from eastern Ukraine, where his forces are closing in on the strategically situated city of Pokrovsk.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly pressed allies to let Kyiv use Western-supplied missiles to strike deep inside Russia and hit sites from which Moscow launches aerial attacks. While some countries, including Britain, are thought to tacitly support the idea, others including Germany and the U.S. are reluctant.U.S. President Joe Biden has allowed Ukraine to fire U.S.-provided missiles into Russia in self-defense, but the distance has been largely limited to cross-border targets deemed a direct threat, out of concerns about further escalating the conflict.Burns said the West should be 바카라 게임 웹사이트�mindful바카라 게임 웹사이트� of the escalation risk but not be 바카라 게임 웹사이트�unnecessarily intimidated바카라 게임 웹사이트� by Russian saber-rattling, revealing that there was a moment in late 2022 when there was a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�genuine risk of the use of tactical nuclear weapons바카라 게임 웹사이트� by Moscow.He also warned of the growing and 바카라 게임 웹사이트�troubling바카라 게임 웹사이트� defense relationship between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea that he said threatens both Ukraine and Western allies in the Middle East. North Korea has sent ammunition and missiles to Russia to use against Ukraine, while Iran supplies Moscow with attack drones.Burns said the CIA had yet to see evidence of China sending weapons to Russia, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�but we see lot of things short of that.바카라 게임 웹사이트� And he warned Iran against supplying ballistic missiles to Moscow, saying 바카라 게임 웹사이트�it would be a dramatic escalation바카라 게임 웹사이트� of the relationship.He did not say whether such missiles had already been sent. But two people familiar with the matter said the United States has told allies that it believes Tehran has transferred short-range ballistic missiles to Russia. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a matter that has not been publicly disclosed.Ahead of their joint appearance at the FT Weekend Festival at London바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Kenwood House, the two spymasters wrote an opinion piece for the Financial Times, calling for a cease-fire in Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s war against Hamas and saying their agencies had 바카라 게임 웹사이트�exploited our intelligence channels to push hard for restraint and de-escalation.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Burns has been heavily involved in efforts to broker an end to the fighting, traveling to Egypt in August for high-level talks aimed at bringing about a hostage deal and at least a temporary halt to the conflict.So far there has been no agreement, though United States officials insist a deal is close. Biden said recently that 바카라 게임 웹사이트�just a couple more issues바카라 게임 웹사이트� remain unresolved. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has said reports of a breakthrough are 바카라 게임 웹사이트�exactly inaccurate.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�I cannot tell you how close we are right now,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Burns told the London audience. He said negotiators are working on new, detailed proposals that would be presented within several days.Burns said that while 90% of the text has been agreed between the warring sides, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the last 10% is the last 10% for a reason, because it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s the hardest part to do.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Burns said ending the conflict would require 바카라 게임 웹사이트�some hard choices and some difficult compromises바카라 게임 웹사이트� from both Israel and Hamas.The U.S. and the United Kingdom are both staunch allies of Israel, though London diverged from Washington on Monday by suspending some arms exports to Israel because of the risk they could be used to break international law.The intelligence chiefs' speech came ahead of a busy week of trans-Atlantic diplomacy that includes a meeting in Washington between Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The White House said the talks would touch on Ukraine, Gaza and other issues.In another sign of the intensification of the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�special relationship,바카라 게임 웹사이트� U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will also travel to London early next week for talks with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy and other officials.The State Department said Blinken would participate in the U.S.-U.K. strategic dialogue on Monday and Tuesday that will cover Ukraine, the Middle East, China and the Indo-Pacific.In their article, Burns and Moore stressed the strength of the trans-Atlantic relationship in the face of 바카라 게임 웹사이트�an unprecedented array of threats,바카라 게임 웹사이트� including an assertive Russia, an ever-more powerful China and the constant drumbeat of international terrorism 바카라 게임 웹사이트� all complicated by rapid technological change.They highlighted Russia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�reckless campaign of sabotage바카라 게임 웹사이트� across Europe and the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�cynical use of technology to spread lies and disinformation designed to drive wedges between us.바카라 게임 웹사이트�U.S. officials have long accused Moscow of meddling in American elections, and this week the Biden administration seized Kremlin-run websites and charged employees of Russian broadcaster RT with covertly funding social media campaigns to pump out pro-Kremlin messages and sow discord around November바카라 게임 웹사이트�s presidential contest.Russia has also been linked by Western officials to several planned attacks in Europe, including an alleged plot to burn down Ukrainian-owned businesses in London.Moore said Russia's spies were acting in an increasingly desperate and reckless way.The "Russian intelligence service has gone a bit feral," he said.___Associated Press writers Aamer Madhani, Zeke Miller and Matthew Lee in Washington contributed to this report.
