The Americans boasted that they were helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine “figure out” Russian generals – New York Times
The intelligence that the United States shares with Ukraine was used for Ukrainian military strikes that killed several Russian generals. This is stated in ARTICLES the American edition of the New York Times, citing anonymous sources in the American intelligence service.
The publication states that the United States provided Kyiv with intelligence data that helped the Ukrainian army locate and destroy several Russian generals on Ukrainian territory.
According to the publication, the Americans concentrated on providing Ukrainians with real-time information about the geolocation and other details of Russian mobile command posts (CP), which are constantly changing their location. The Ukrainians compare this information with their own intelligence, including intercepted conversations of the Russian military, and organize strikes against them if they suspect the presence of senior officers.
American officials interviewed by the newspaper declined to describe how they collect information, but noted that intelligence agencies, among other things, use data from both military and commercial satellites to track the movements of Russian troops in Ukraine. According to the newspaper, other NATO countries are also transmitting intelligence about Russian troops in Ukraine to Kyiv in real time.
According to NYT sources, not all attacks on Russian headquarters in Ukraine were carried out using American data. Thus, the shelling of the command post in Izyum on April 30, in which, according to Western media, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov, was allegedly carried out without the help of American intelligence, several officials told the newspaper.
Ukrainian authorities claim that in two months of war they managed to kill 12 generals of the Russian army. Russia has officially confirmed the death of only two deputy army commanders: Major General Andrei Sukhovetsky and Major General Vladimir Frolov.
At the same time, Pentagon representatives note that the Russian military itself allegedly helps to determine their location, using mobile phones and unprotected radio stations for conversations.
“This shows a lack of discipline, a lack of experience, arrogance and an inability to appreciate the capabilities of the Ukrainians,” former commander of US Army Europe, retired General Frederick Benjamin Hodges, told the newspaper.
