The Kremlin stated on Thursday that the US, UK, and other NATO countries were “constantly” feeding intelligence to Ukraine, but that this would not prevent Russia from attaining its military goals in the country.
Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, was responding to a New York Times claim that the US provided intelligence that assisted Ukrainian forces in killing a dozen Russian generals.
“Our military is well aware that the US, the UK, and NATO as a whole are continually sending intelligence and other data to the Ukrainian armed forces,” he told reporters.
This he said together with the provision of Western weapons, “do not assist the speedy completion of the (Russian) operation, but are not capable of obstructing the attainment of the aims.”
“Of course, the Russian military is doing everything that is necessary for this scenario,” he said when asked what steps Russia would take in response.
Russia has accused the West of arming Ukraine in order to wage a proxy war against it.
According to the New York Times, the United States contributed critical intelligence that assisted Ukrainian forces in killing Russian generals by locating the position of Russia’s mobile military headquarters.
Reporters’ inquiries for comment on the report were not immediately answered by the Pentagon or the White House.
