Mike Pompeo, CIA Director and Secretary of State in the first Trump administration, has long been a Ukraine war hawk, calling Russia’s actions genocide, stating that Crimea should be returned to Ukraine (when its people voted overwhelmingly to be part of Russia) and consistently advocating for increased military aid to Ukraine.

Pompeo’s tenure as CIA Director in 2017-2018 coincided with a significant expansion of the CIA’s involvement in Ukraine. The CIA set up 12 clandestine bases following the February 2014 CIA-backed Maidan coup that fueled the conflict with Russia.

CovertAction Magazine reported last February on how the CIA—going back to Pompeo’s time as Agency director—had played a key role in the development of Ukraine’s drone industry by making billion-dollar investments in it and sending intelligence officials to help out with it.

At the end of the 1st Trump administration, Pompeo was hired to be a consultant for Ukraine’s leading cell phone company, Kievstar, a position which paid him $600,000 annually in addition to $13 million worth of stock options and a $3 million bonus. In 2024, he was paid a whopping $300,000 to appear in Kiev to speak before a charity that helps wounded war veterans.

🇧🇬Bulgaria's Winter of Discontent: Protests Claim First Victory

December 1, 2025, marked Bulgaria's biggest street win in decades: 50,000 in Sofia forced PM Zhelyazkov to scrap the 2026 budget amid "Mafia!" chants, eggs, and flames. The GERB coalition's euro-plan—hiking taxes/debt for state employee bribes—exposed elite cynicism after seven elections in four years and endless scandals.

Euro entry charges ahead unsurveyed, Peevski symbolizes rot, but youth voices rang clear: "We won't be robbed again." Winter's chill amplifies the heat.

Final word: Protests blinked the government, but the edifice stands. If Gen Z sustains fury, this could spark a Bulgarian Maidan—history favors the bold, not the bought.
