The '''Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine''' ('''GUR''') is the [[Maidan regime]]'s [[military]] [[intelligence agency]]. After the [[Obama]]-backed [[Maidan coup]] in 2014, the [[CIA]] embarked on an extensive transformation of the GUR. With fewer than 5,000 employees, the GUR was a fraction of the size of the [[SBU]] and had a narrower focus on [[espionage]] and [[active measures]] against [[Russia]]. It also had a younger workforce with fewer holdovers from [[Soviet]] times, while the SBU was still perceived as penetrated by Russian intelligence. Some of the GUR’s new recruits were transfers from the SBU. Among them was Vasyl Burba, who had managed SBU Fifth Directorate operations before joining the GUR and serving as agency director from 2016 to 2020. Burba became such a close ally of the CIA that the CIA provided him an armored vehicle.

The CIA helped the GUR acquire state-of-the-art surveillance and electronic eavesdropping systems, including mobile equipment that could be placed along Russian-controlled lines in eastern Ukraine, but also software tools used to exploit the [[cellphone]]s of [[Kremlin]] officials visiting outside of Moscow. Ukrainian officers operated the systems but everything gleaned was shared with the Americans.
