Kremlin Calls U.S. and NATO Intelligence Aid to Ukraine ‘Obvious’ as Washington Weighs Tomahawks

U.S. media report that Kyiv could receive targeting data for Russian energy sites next.

Overview

  • Dmitry Peskov said it is obvious the United States and NATO regularly transmit intelligence to Ukraine.
  • Reports from The Wall Street Journal and Reuters say Washington could provide data on long-range energy infrastructure targets inside Russia and is considering a Ukrainian request for Tomahawk cruise missiles.
  • Tomahawks have an estimated range of about 2,500 kilometers, extending potential Ukrainian strike reach deep into European Russia.
  • The White House did not immediately comment, and Washington has historically avoided publicly acknowledging any role in strikes on Russian energy facilities.
  • Ukraine has targeted Russian refineries in recent weeks, and President Vladimir Putin has previously warned that countries enabling strikes on Russia could face retaliatory action.
