As to which agency Kilimnik worked for, it's almost certainly the GRU. Why? Let's look at his background.

In the mid-90s he taught Swedish at the Military University for Foreign Languages of the Russian Ministry of Defense -- a customary educational pathway for GRU officers.

Then, um, WaPo quoted Phil Griffin, the consultant who hired Kilimnik at the International Republican Institute, back in 2017: “He was completely upfront about his past work with Russian military intelligence. It was no big deal.”
