The United States passed information on the location of Russian military bases to Ukraine so that the Ukrainian armed forces would have the opportunity to kill Russian generals, The New York Times reports. According to the publication, such an exchange of information has been underway since the start of the special operation in Ukraine.
Washington also shared data with Kiev on Russian armed forces command posts, ammunition depots and other key nodes.
This real-time intelligence enabled the Ukrainians to attack Russian forces, kill high-ranking generals, and divert munitions shipments further from the Russian front line.
- underlined in the publication.
The New York Times believes that after learning about the leak of secret military documents on Ukraine from the Pentagon, the flow of valuable information between the United States and Ukraine will weaken. The data leak happened before Kiev’s planned spring offensive.
Earlier it became known that the US military department is investigating the leak to the network of “classified” data on the upcoming counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army. The documents describe the plans of the United States and other NATO countries to strengthen the efforts of the Ukrainian armed forces in preparation for offensive operations. A number of analysts believe that the NATO plans were deliberately published on the Internet in order to mislead Moscow.
