A New York Times report, citing senior U.S. officials, who did not want to be named, claimed that the United States had provided Kiev with intelligence on the location of Russian military units in the Ukraine war. Ukrainian forces had the opportunity to target and kill many Russian generals killed in the war.
In response to the report, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the United States was providing military intelligence to Kiev to help Ukrainians defend their country. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat Russia’s foreign intelligence service. The Ukrainian military has not commented on the attack.
Kirby said it was up to Ukraine to decide whether to attack Russian officials. “Ukraine coordinates intelligence collected from the battlefield with information provided by us and other allies,” he said. They make their own decisions. They do their own thing. ‘
The White House National Security Council, meanwhile, has sharply criticized the New York Times for calling the report “irresponsible.”
Council spokesman Adrian Watson said the United States was providing battlefield intelligence to help Ukrainians defend their country. We do not provide any intelligence for the purpose of killing the Russian generals. “
Ukrainian officials claim they have killed at least 12 Russian generals in the fighting. The deaths of so many Russian generals in this war have taken military experts by surprise.
