The United States denied on Thursday that it had briefed Ukrainian forces to kill Russian generals near the front lines, The New York Times reported.
It is true that the United States provided intelligence elements to Kiev “to help the Ukrainians defend their country”, Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby said. But “we do not provide information on the location of military commands on the battlefield and do not agree with target decisions made by the Ukrainian military,” he said.
The New York Times reported yesterday that the information given by the US to the Ukrainian Army made it possible to locate the Russian generals at the front, based on unidentified US intelligence sources.
Citing military commandos, the newspaper said “many” of the dozens of Russian generals killed by Ukrainian forces were found with the help of US intelligence.
The US National Security Council (NSC) has previously described as “irresponsible” any claim that the US helped Ukraine kill Russian generals.
Washington’s intelligence efforts to assist Ukraine in the war have focused, among other things, on “identifying the location and other details of the mobile headquarters of the regularly moving Russian Army.”
