The US is escalating the proxy war with Russia. They will provide Ukraine’s military with intelligence to attack targets in Crimea to relitigate Crimea. The US is also sending heavier weapons.
“As the conflict evolves, we continue to adjust to ensure that operators have the flexibility to share detailed, timely intelligence with the Ukrainians,” a US intelligence official told the Wall Street Journal about the policy change.
The newspaper said Washington is moving to “significantly expand” intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, but “will refrain from providing intelligence that would enable the Ukrainians to strike targets on Russian territory”. The report, which was confirmed by the New York Times, specifically mentioned Crimea as covered by the new policy.
After the 2014 coup, Crimea voted in a controversial referendum to rejoin Russia. Moscow considers Crimea’s status as part of Russia a settled issue.
Russia is now warning Ukraine they may strike Kiev’s “decision-making centers,” after attacks on Russian territory.
