With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the "end of history" as it was called, some questioned why the need for an organization with a such a checkered history.<ref>http://carnegieendowment.org/2005/12/20/case-for-abolishing-cia</ref> [[Global warming]] as a strategic threat to national security became the new boogeyman to justify continued funding.<ref>https://youtu.be/tebTD6yWOX0</ref>

In October 2023 ''[[The Washington Post]]'' revealed how the CIA had used the Ukrainian intelligence services to initiate war with Russia since 2014.<ref>[https://archive.ph/RMFzQ#selection-1881.181-1881.377 Ukrainian spies with deep ties to CIA wage shadow war against Russia], By Greg Miller and Isabelle Khurshudyan, ''Washington Post'', October 23, 2023</ref> With the US-backed [[Maidan coup]], the CIA spent tens of millions of dollars to transform Ukraine’s Soviet-formed services into allies against Moscow. The agency provided Ukraine with advanced surveillance systems, trained recruits at sites in Ukraine and the United States, built new headquarters for departments in Ukraine’s military intelligence agency. Given concerns that Ukraine’s services were still heavily penetrated by the [[FSB]] — the Russian agency that is the main successor to the [[KGB]], the CIA worked with the [[SBU]] to create an entirely new directorate that would focus on so-called “active measures” operations against Russia and be insulated from other SBU departments. The new unit was dubbed the “Fifth Directorate” to distinguish it from the four long-standing units of the SBU. A sixth directorate has since been added to work with the [[UK]]'s [[MI6]] spy agency.
