    Ukraine Part Two: Ralph Goff & Glenn Corn - CIA Directorate of Operations (Ret.)

    For the last year or so, I’ve traveled regularly to Ukraine to cover the war for The Australian Financial Review. My travelling companions have been Ralph Goff and Glenn Corn, two recently retired intelligence officers from the CIA's Directorate of Operations. We sat down in Kyiv on the last night of a recent trip to discuss current developments. Thank you to Ukrainian artist Indie Elephant for contributing some of the score.

    Ukraine: Ralph Goff - CIA Chief of Operations - Europe & Eurasia (Ret.)

    At the start of April I spent 10 days on the road in Ukraine with Ralph Goff, a 35-year veteran of the CIA, where he was a 6-time “Chief of Station” with extensive service in Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia, including several war zones. As a Senior Intelligence Service executive, he was Chief of Operations for Europe and Eurasia, responsible for all CIA activities and operations in dozens of countries.  At the end of our trip, Ralph and I sat down in Warsaw to discuss what we learned. --- LINK > Indie Elephant: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/indie-elephant/1542824466
