The United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure deep inside Russia, in a move that would signal a significant shift in the White House’s support for Kyiv.
This would mark the first policy change by U.S. President Donald Trump since his social media comments that Ukraine could win back all of the territory occupied by Russia in September.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. is also calling upon NATO allies to provide similar support.
Washington has long been offering intelligence to Kyiv. Still, the new data will make it easier for Ukraine to hit infrastructure such as refineries, pipelines and power plants with the aim of depriving the Kremlin of revenue and oil.
“The US transmits intelligence to Ukraine on a regular basis online,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in response to the reports.
“The supply and use of the entire infrastructure of NATO and the US to collect and transfer intelligence to Ukrainians is obvious.”
This comes as the U.S. considers a Ukrainian request for Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a range of 2,500km, that could easily hit Moscow and most of European Russia if fired from Ukraine.
