| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] From the very beginning of the special operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) received from the US military intelligence the coordinates of the military bases of the Russian Armed Forces, including for the assassination of Russian generals. This was reported by The New York Times (NYT). "Throughout the conflict, the United States provided Ukraine with information about command posts, ammunition depots and other key nodes on Russian military lines," the publication states. This real-time intelligence allowed the Ukrainian side to "kill high-ranking generals and divert ammunition supplies further from the Russian front line," the NYT noted. At the same time, according to US and European officials, at the beginning of the conflict, Ukrainian officials were hesitant to share their plans with Washington for fear of leaks. Worried that the release of their plans of operations could also reveal weaknesses and prevent continued American support, the Ukrainians guarded them closely, officials said. As REGNUM reported, Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency William Burns said that the data provided by his department helped the Armed Forces of Ukraine to conduct military operations against Russia. According to him, the data provided by American intelligence is designed to help Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "protect his country." Earlier, the American newspaper New Yorker wrote that the United States is actively transferring intelligence to the Kyiv authorities. According to the publication, as a result of this, there was also a tragedy with the cruiser Moskva , when in the spring of 2022 the Kiev regime sent a request to American intelligence for data on the location of the ship, which confirmed that the cruiser was located south of Odessa, after which an explosion occurred. The Pentagon is currently investigating the leak of classified military documents posted on Twitter and Telegram about classified US and NATO plans for Ukraine. The leak happened a few days ago. A package of documents revealing data on the schedules for the supply of military aid to Ukraine, the number of troops and battalions, have appeared in the public domain. |
