The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has released a Russian-language video to try to persuade Russian intelligence employees to switch sides and work as double agents for Washington. The video, released on the CIA's social media channels on January 22, tries to appeal to Russians working in intelligence agencies who may feel betrayed by what it called corruption in elite circles and the poor way the Russian armed forces are equipped and supplied. "Those around you may not want to hear the truth. But we do. You are not powerless," says the video before detailing ways to contact the CIA.
