The USA provided Ukraine with intelligence for successful strikes on Russia.

The US is actively supporting Ukraine in conducting long-range attacks on Russia’s energy facilities. This assistance is part of a strategy to weaken the Russian economy and prompt Putin to negotiate, according to sources from the London publication Financial Times in Washington and Kyiv.

US Support

Information about the provision of American intelligence data on targets, including oil refineries, has become known in recent months. These facilities are far from the front line, allowing Ukraine to carry out longer-range attacks.

Strengthening Cooperation

Last summer, the exchange of information and strategic cooperation between the US and Ukraine noticeably increased. This gave Ukraine new opportunities to conduct operations against Russia’s energy infrastructure.

Economic Consequences

The successes of Ukrainian attacks have caused a significant response in the Russian economy. According to analytical data, there has been an increase in energy prices within the country. Experts do not rule out that such actions could undermine Russia’s economic foundations and increase pressure on the authorities.

Long-term Goals

These actions, according to sources, are aimed at achieving long-term goals, including forcing Russia to negotiate. This is an important step that could influence the course of the conflict.
