Disclosure: USA helps Ukraine for months in attacks that Joe Biden did not want to hear / remain a single question

The United States has been helping Ukraine for months to launch long distance attacks on Russian energy installations, in a coordinated effort, to weaken Vladimir Putin's economy and to force them to sit at the negotiation table, people who know the operation have revealed to the Financial Times.

Intense ukraine drone attacks pushed Russia into an unprecedented crisis that gives birth to chain effects. Russia has lost about 40% of its refining capacity, which led to a fuel crisis, tails to gas stations and price increase.

Due to the crisis, Moscow was forced to resort to imports from Belarus and is about to buy fuels from China and other Asian countries.

The information provided by the US secret services to Kiev allowed attacks on important Russian energy installations, including oil refineries located behind the front line, according to several Ukrainian and American officials familiar with the campaign.

The last such attack took place on Saturday morning, when Ukraine announced that it had hit a Russian oil refinery with Drone 1,400 km away from the front.

Joe Biden discouraged this type of strokes

This important support for Ukraine, now revealed by FT, has intensified from the middle of the summer and has been crucial in helping Ukraine to perform this kind of white house discouraged during Joe Biden.

Kiev attacks have led to increase in energy prices in Russia and caused Moscow to reduce diesel exports and import fuel.

The new information revealed by the British publication is a new sign that Trump has intensified its support for Ukraine, as its frustration towards Russia has grown.

The United States has never acknowledged that a direct role in Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy installations. Washington has been cautious about actions that could escalate the war for a long time.

The increasing operational support from the Trump administration contrasts strongly with the first months of the second term of the US President, when he shortly stopped the exchange of information and military aid to Kiev to begin peace discussions with Moscow.

Trump wants the Russians to “feel it hurts”

The change occurred after a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Volodimir Zelenski in July. “Volodimir, can you hit Moscow? And St. Petersburg?” Trump asked Zelenski in his private discussion.

The “strategic” conversation with Zelenski on July 4 came after a telephone conversation of Trump with Putin the previous day, which the US president described as “bad” and which he was very dissatisfied with.

Trump signaled his support for a strategy to “do [pe ruși] To feel it hurts “and to force the Kremlin to negotiate, two informed people said. The White House later said that Trump” just asked a question, without encouraging new killings. “

There is only one question: Ukraine selects targets or is it just a “tool”?

American intelligence services help Kiev plan routes, altitude, synchronization and missions decisions, allowing Ukrainian and one -way and one -way attack drones to avoid Russian air defense, FT sources said.

Three people familiar with the operation said that Washington was closely involved at all stages of planning.

An American official said Ukraine selected targets for long distance attacks, and Washington then provided information on locations.

But others involved and informed about operations have stated that Americans have also set priorities on targets for Ukrainians.

One of them described the Kiev's drone force as the “instrument” by which Washington undermines the Russia's economy and pushes Putin towards a war settlement.

The United States also analyzes the delivery of Rocket Tomahawk and Barracuda

Earlier this month, two Reuters sources said that the United States will provide Ukraine information about remote energy infrastructure in Russia, in the context of analyzing Kiev rockets that could be used in such attacks.

The United States also asks NATO allies to provide similar support, American officials said, confirming information on this topic published by Wall Street Journal.

The measure also comes in the context in which the United States also takes into account a request for Kiev to receive Tomahawk missiles, which have a range of 2,500 km – enough to hit Moscow and most of the European Russia if launched from Ukraine.

Ukraine has also developed its own long -range rocket, called Flamingo, but it is not known as it has, because it is in the incipient production phase.

The US also analyzes, besides Tomahawk and the delivery of Barracuda missiles, as well as other US and air launch and air launch rockets, which have 800-900 km rays, other administration officials said.

The information, combined with stronger weapons, could have a much stronger effect than the previous Ukraine attacks in Russia, causing greater damage to its energy infrastructure and putting in difficulty the Russian aerial defense.
