US Intelligence Coordinates Ukraine Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries: Investigation Details.

According to inkorr.com: Financial Times published an exclusive investigation revealing how the US coordinates Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy facilities. According to the publication, US intelligence provides Ukraine with information for planning attacks on oil refineries and other strategic targets deep within Russia.

According to information from FT from several Ukrainian and American officials familiar with the operation, the US is involved in planning at all stages. American intelligence helps to shape flight routes, determine the optimal altitude and timing for missions, allowing Ukrainian kamikaze drones to navigate undetected in Russian air defense.

Three sources confirmed to FT that Washington is actively involved in planning. One American official specified that after targets for strikes are chosen by Ukraine, Washington provides intelligence data on the vulnerabilities of the facilities.

New Level of Detail from American Intelligence

Four individuals familiar with the Ukrainian drone strike operation reported that after a July call to Kyiv, American intelligence began arriving with a new level of detail. This information has helped Ukraine better map Russian air defense and plan strike routes.

FT notes that the US role in these operations was not previously officially acknowledged. Washington avoids actions that could escalate the conflict with Moscow.

Several Ukrainian and American officials confirmed that the US actively supports Ukraine in planning strikes on Russian facilities through coordination and providing current information for the successful execution of operations. This investigation highlights a new level of understanding of the influence of American intelligence on military operations in Ukraine.

Amid growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, American support is becoming increasingly noticeable. In particular, Washington's actions in the intelligence sphere may significantly change the course of military operations in the region. This investigation by the Financial Times points to the important role the US plays in providing Ukraine with the necessary resources for conducting combat operations. It is likely that cooperation between the countries will only deepen in the near future.
