A Trump administration Plans for the provision of additional intelligence in Ukraine To help Kyiv hit At oil and gas facilities within Russia, according to three sources, with knowledge of the issue.
This will be the first time the United States has expanded intelligence assistance to Ukraine since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January.
Wall Street Journal For the first time reported Administration plans.
Trump's rhetoric has changed over the past month. He criticized Moscow, calling it a “paper tiger”, which was unable to defeat his smaller neighbor.
After Trump publicly collided with Ukrainian President Volodimyr Zelensky in the Oval office, the United States suspended intelligence with Kiev in March in March in March. The suspension cut off the Ukrainian government and European allies, because Kyiv is largely relied on for American intelligence for its military efforts.
In Ukraine, more and more complex drones and missiles strengthened the attacks of sabotage on pipelines, oil refineries and other energy infrastructure deep inside the Russian territory. Attacks say that attacks begin to cause significant damage to the energy sector of Russia.
American intelligence can make these strikes even more effective, and Ukraine hopes that the Trump administration will agree to its requests for longer missiles in the United States.
On Sunday, the vice president of JD Vance told Fox News that the administration is considering Ukraine's request about Tomahawk missiles for long-range ranges, which have a range of 1,500 miles.
In August, the administration announced the sale of ammunition of an expanded range attack for Ukraine, when NATO member countries bought weapons on behalf of Kyiv. These missiles have ranges from 150 to 280 miles.
Russia overcame the plans of the Trump administration to expand intelligence intelligence.
“The United States regularly transfer intelligence to Ukraine on the Internet. The supply and use of the entire NATO and the US infrastructure to collect and transfer intelligence to Ukrainians is obvious, ”Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
But Peskov warned the United States that any deliveries of cruise missiles Thomagavk would represent a “new, serious voltage round, which would require an adequate response from the Russian side.”
Rockets can pass up to 1,500 miles, putting Moscow in the range.
In his annual circulation of foreign policy on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that his country is in conflict with all NATO.
“Many countries are fighting against us. All NATO countries are fighting against us. They no longer hide this, ”Putin said.
He warned the Trump administration not about the green light of the sale of tomagavk missiles for long -range ranges to Ukraine.
“Can tomaguts harm us? They can, ”said Putin. “We will shoot them and improve our air defense systems.”
“The use of tomahawks without the direct participation of American troops is impossible. This would marked a completely new, qualitatively new stage of escalation, including in relations between Russia and the United States, ”he added.
Putin also threatened Europe, where a series of invasion of drones put many countries high.
“We carefully monitor the growing militarization of Europe,” Putin said. “The reaction of Russia will not come for a long time. The reaction to threats to express it is soft, will be very convincing. ”
