Reports indicate that the United States has agreed to provide Ukraine with targeting intelligence for its long-range strikes against Russian energy infrastructure. For many months now, Ukraine has been waging a campaign to degrade Russia\u2019s oil and natural gas infrastructure<\/a>, depriving it of critical resources for its offensive in Ukraine as well as revenue from energy exports.<\/p>\n

According to an article<\/a> in the Wall Street Journal<\/em>, which cites unnamed U.S. administration officials, and another report from Reuters<\/a><\/em>, the new policy is being adopted ahead of a possible transfer of longer-range and harder-hitting weapons<\/a> that can be used against the same kinds of targets, and potentially others deep in Russia.<\/p>\n

The officials who spoke to the WSJ<\/em> reportedly said that President Donald Trump had recently signed off on the sharing of intelligence for the Ukrainian strikes, although the caveat that only attacks on energy infrastructure are covered is significant. Targeting data will be provided to Kyiv by U.S. intelligence agencies as well as the Pentagon. Meanwhile, U.S. officials are said to be pushing NATO allies to do the same.<\/p>\n

This would be the first time, officially at least, that the Trump administration provides Ukraine with this kind of intelligence for its long-range strikes.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Ukraine has been repeatedly using long-range one-way attack drones<\/a>, and to a lesser degree, cruise missiles of its own design<\/a>, to hit Russian refineries, pipelines, power stations, and related infrastructure far beyond the front lines.<\/p>\n

The hope is that the new U.S.-supplied intelligence will make these raids more destructive.<\/p>\n

At the same time, a Ukrainian delegation has arrived in Washington this week to work on a new agreement with the Trump administration that would see Kyiv sharing its\u00a0drone technology\u00a0with the United States, in exchange<\/a> for a so-far undecided compensation, perhaps in the form of additional arms.<\/p>\n

As to what might come next in terms of longer-range and more powerful weapons, should the United States agree to provide them, there is already much speculation that the Tomahawk<\/a> land-attack cruise missile might be included. The prospect of Ukraine getting its hands on the Tomahawk, which can strike targets<\/a> at a range of almost 1,000 miles, carrying a 1,000-pound unitary warhead, has already caused some alarm among pro-Kremlin military bloggers, as seen in the video below.<\/p>\n

“Apparently, the situation with the war will soon become even more acute. I\u2019m talking about Tomahawk missiles. It is no coincidence that air raid drills were held today in Russian cities. Everyone should know\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/yaNSkibRot<\/a><\/p>\n
