Operation Aerodynamic was a CIA program which began in the late 1950s to support anti-Soviet Ukrainian nationalists (including Nazi collaborators) which would eventually be installed in the 2014 US-backed coup in Ukraine.[1][2][3] Even earlier was the Belladonna Project of 1946.[4]
An official CIA document declassified in 2007 reads:
The purpose of Project AERODYNAMIC is to provide for the exploitation and expansion of the Anti-Soviet Ukrainian resistance movement for cold war and hot war purposes. Such groups as the Ukrainian Supreme Council of Liberation (UHVR), its military adjunct, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN all in the Ukraine, the Foreign Representation of the Supreme Council of Liberation (ZPUHVR) in Western Europe and the United States, and other Ukrainian organizations such as the Foreign Sections of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (ZchOUN), etc., will be utilized.[5]
