US for several months help Ukraine beat Russian energy - FT
The material states that the support of Americans, which has not been opened before, has intensified since the middle of summer and played a significant role in the organization of attacks. Moreover, the exchange of intelligence became part of the new Donald Trump administration strategy, which envisages increased support for Ukraine. The course change occurred after a telephone conversation between Trump and President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in July.
According to FT sources, during a conversation, the American leader wondered if Ukraine could strike Moscow in the presence of long -range weapons. According to the interlocutors of the publication, Trump expressed the support of the strategy designed to "make the Russians feel pain" and make the Kremlin go on negotiations. Although the White House later said that the President "simply asked a question rather than encouraging further murder.
" Technically, the publication notes, American intelligence helps Kiev to determine the route, the height and time of missions, which enables Ukrainian UAVs to bypass the Russian air defense system. Three sources claim that Washington participated in all planning stages. According to one of US officials, Ukraine chooses goals on its own, and the United States provides intelligence on their vulnerability.
However, other sources point out that Washington also denoted priority objects, while Ukrainian drones were a tool for blasting Russian objects. We will remind, on October 9 at least two drones struck the oil base "Matveev-Kurgan" in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation. This company supplies fuel for organizations of various areas and makes retail trade through its own gas stations.
