US To Provide Ukraine With Intelligence For Missile Strikes Deep Inside Russia WSJ


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was reported by The Wall Street Journal , citing U.S. officials, according to Ukrinform.

"The U.S. will provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure, American officials said, as the Trump administration weighs sending Kyiv powerful weapons that could put in range more targets within Russia," the article states.

The report recalls that President Donald Trump recently signed off on allowing intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to aid Kyiv with the strikes.

The United States has long shared intelligence with Ukraine, but this new step will make it easier for Kyiv to strike oil refineries, pipelines, power plants, and other infrastructure, with the goal of depriving the Kremlin of oil revenues.

At the same time, sources said, U.S. officials are urging NATO allies to provide similar support.

The expanded intelligence-sharing with Kyiv is the latest sign that Trump is deepening support for Ukraine as his efforts to advance peace talks have stalled, the article said.

According to officials, the authorization to supply Ukraine with additional intelligence was approved shortly before Trump last week posted on social media that Ukraine can regain all territories occupied by Russia.
