"The US will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure targets deep inside Russia, according to overnight reports, a move that would signal a significant shift in White House support for Kyiv. The decision would be the first example of a change in policy by Donald Trump since his comments on social media towards the end of September that Ukraine could win back all of the territories occupied by Russia."
"Russia said nothing had changed. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, said: The US transmits intelligence to Ukraine on a regular basis online. The supply and use of the entire infrastructure of Nato and the US to collect and transfer intelligence to Ukrainians is obvious. Trump has become increasingly irritated with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, over the past month as Moscow has stepped up its attacks on Ukrainian cities and failed to soften its demands for more territory as a precursor for negotiations."
The US will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure targets deep inside Russia, marking a notable shift in White House support for Kyiv. The policy change reportedly preceded President Trump's social-media remarks about Ukraine reclaiming occupied territories. NATO allies were encouraged to follow the US position. No decision has been made on supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles, though Vice-President JD Vance said Trump was considering a Kyiv request for missiles with a 1,500-mile range. Western satellite imagery and monitoring data aid accurate targeting. Strikes on energy sites, including 21 of 38 refineries, have caused fuel shortages and production declines. Russia stated nothing had changed and emphasized routine intelligence transmission.
