The paper reveals that the Biden administration is secretly sharing information with Ukraine about things such as the Kremlin’s military plans in the Donbas region, including intelligence on the locations of Russian army mobile checkpoints.
With its help, Ukrainian troops have been able to carry out successful artillery strikes in which Russian generals have been killed.
The sources do not want to tell ‘The New York Times’ how many Russian military leaders have been killed in this way. Military experts have been surprised at the high number of Russian generals killed so far, the newspaper said.
The Biden administration is said to have tried to keep the operation a secret, as it could be seen by the Kremlin as an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.
The White House and Pentagon declined to comment on the newspaper’s revelations. Defense spokesman John Kirby only says his ministry is providing Ukraine with intelligence “so that the country can defend itself”.
