The American intelligence services are helping Kiev primarily with planning drone attacks—from the route and altitude to the timing—which allows Russian air defenses to be circumvented.
Kiev allegedly determines the targets, while Washington provides detailed information about their vulnerability. The campaign is targeting infrastructure facilities deep inside Russian territory, including refineries.
Neither the White House nor Moscow has commented on the reports, but the Kremlin has previously accused NATO of providing intensive intelligence support to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed ways to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses in a phone call with US President Donald Trump over the weekend. According to the president, negotiations are currently underway on specific agreements that would strengthen defenses.
