On Wednesday, the American press reported that US intelligence information allowed Ukraine to attack a number of Russian generals on the fronts in Ukraine during the Russian military operation.
However, the US National Security Council called “irresponsible” reports that the US is helping Ukraine kill Russian generals.
“The United States is providing battlefield intelligence to help Ukrainians defend their country,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrian Watson told AFP by email. “We are not providing intelligence with the intent to kill Russian generals.”
And a New York newspaper, citing unnamed U.S. intelligence sources, said that intelligence provided by Washington to the Ukrainian army allowed the latter to strike a number of Russian generals near the front line, noting that this led to the death of about 12 Russian generals.
And The New York Times wrote that Washington’s intelligence efforts to explain in detail the situation with Ukraine in the battles “are focused, in particular, on determining the location and other details of the mobile headquarters of the Russian army, which is constantly on the move,” according to AFP. .
Officially, the Pentagon said last Monday that Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov last week visited the front in the Donbass region, which lasted “a day”, which indicates the approach of high-ranking Russian military officials to the battles.
Although rumors circulated that Gerasimov had been wounded at the front, the Pentagon did not confirm these rumors.
It is worth noting that Ukraine has several times claimed to have killed Russian generals in the field since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine on February 24.
U.S. intelligence assistance to Ukraine, which Washington does not disclose, is added to the billions of dollars of military equipment supplied to the Ukrainian army, including anti-tank weapons, ammunition, heavy artillery, helicopters and drones.
“We want Russia to be so weak that it cannot do things like invade Ukraine,” US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said April 25.
