Peskov responds to a report in the "New York Times" that Washington provided intelligence that helped Ukrainian forces kill Russian military leaders.
The Kremlin said Thursday that it is well aware that the United States, Britain, and other NATO countries are providing the Ukrainian army with intelligence, stressing that this will not prevent Russia from achieving its goals.
The comment came from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov to a report in the "New York Times" that Washington provided intelligence information that helped Ukrainian forces kill Russian military leaders.
Over the past months and since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the US assistance to Kyiv was not limited to the military, and the United States provided intelligence information about the Russian units, which allowed the Ukrainians to target and kill many Russian generals who died during that period, according to senior US officials.
Informed sources revealed that the Ukrainians killed nearly 12 generals on the front lines, a number that surprises military analysts.
It also made clear that the targeting assistance was part of a covert effort by the administration of US President Joe Biden to provide timely battlefield intelligence to the Ukrainians, according to a report carried out by the New York Times.
