Trump allowed strikes on Russia: what targets will be accessible for the Armed Forces of Ukraine
According to hvylya.net: The war in Ukraine may take on a new scale following the decision of U.S. President Donald Trump to provide Kyiv with intelligence data for strikes on strategic energy facilities in Russia. According to American officials, this involves satellite imagery and other data that will ensure the accuracy of strikes with long-range weapons and allow combat actions to be moved deeper into Russian territory.
The Times commentator Michael Evans believes that this step could significantly escalate combat actions within Russian territory and deal a critical blow to the Kremlin's military economy. Trump's decision to supply Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles may help Ukrainian forces strike even at Moscow. This decision, which was not previously considered under the Biden administration, could significantly change the situation on the front.
Trump's decision was first mentioned in The Wall Street Journal and coincided with the statement of Vice President Jay D. Vance: 'The White House is studying the possibility of transferring ground-based Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv.'
The role of American intelligence in the war
From the very beginning of the war, American intelligence has played a key role in containing the Russian offensive. However, the Pentagon emphasizes that the information was provided for attacks on strategic targets, not on individual Russian generals. Providing intelligence data for strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure may force the Kremlin to reconsider its war strategy and seek a way out through negotiations.
'Putin relies on the sale of oil and gas to China, India, and Turkey to finance the war against Ukraine. If Kyiv receives intelligence data to strike this infrastructure, it will be a serious blow to Moscow,' the article in The Times emphasizes.
U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to provide intelligence data to Ukraine for strikes on Russia may significantly change the strategy of military actions in Eastern Europe. This step poses certain risks and may provoke new conflicts, but at the same time reflects deep geopolitical shifts in the region.
