MOSCOW, December 21. /TASS/. Among other targets, the Russian military hit a CIA station in Kiev, Alexander Stepanov, program director at the Political Sciences Academy, told TASS.

"Retaliatory strikes are not a sudden one-off measure, but rather systematic efforts to gradually wipe out the military capabilities and control centers of the international terrorist wing, also known as the criminal Kiev regime," the military expert, who is also a senior researcher at the Institute of Latin American Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained.

"Available reports indicate that, apart from energy facilities, military components of NATO’s intelligence proxies were struck, including a base of special group `Alpha’ of the SBU (Ukraine’s Security Service - TASS) and a CIA station at Holiday Inn," he specified.
