The United States and Britain provided Ukraine, following Kiev’s invasion of the sovereign territory of Kursk region, with satellite images and other information to track Russian Army units. This was reported by The New York Times, citing US officials.
‘A few days after (the invasion. – ed.) the United States and Britain provided Ukraine with satellite images and other information about the Kursk region,’ the report said.
According to the newspaper, London and Washington provided satellite images of the Kursk region to Kiev not to ‘help Ukraine go deeper into Russia’ but to allow its commanders to better track Russian reinforcements that could attack them or cut off their possible withdrawal back to Ukraine.
Earlier, State Duma deputy and member of the security committee Mikhail Sheremet said that the sky over the Black Sea needed to be ‘closed’ due to the activity of NATO drones, which collect information about Crimea and other southern regions of Russia and pass it to Kiev for subsequent strikes.
