Biden's CIA head leads the charge against Putin's information war

As Russia began amassing troops on Ukraine's border late last year, CIA Director William Burns was ready.

A career ambassador, Burns spent two tours at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and is one of the Biden administration's foremost experts on Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.

President Biden in November quietly dispatched the former U.S. ambassador to Russia to try to negotiate with the Kremlin and warn them of consequences should they move forward into Ukraine.

Eventually, Burns was central to the unusual decision by the administration to proactively declassify and release intelligence on Russian "false flag" operations in Ukraine as a way to disrupt Putin's messaging and endgame.
