U.S. Supports Ukraine with Intelligence on Russian Energy Targets

The U.S. will provide Ukraine with intelligence on Russian energy infrastructure, considering allowing Kyiv to acquire Tomahawk missiles. This policy change follows President Trump's efforts to pressure Europe to stop buying Russian oil. The aim is to weaken Russia's war effort by targeting its energy revenue sources.

The United States is stepping up its support for Ukraine by offering intelligence on Russia's long-range energy infrastructure targets, according to two officials. This development comes amid discussions on whether to supply Kyiv with Tomahawk missiles, which could be used in such operations.

The intelligence-sharing move marks the first known policy adaptation signed by President Donald Trump since he intensified his anti-Russia rhetoric. These efforts are part of Trump's strategy to press European nations to boycott Russian oil in return for tougher sanctions on Moscow.

Ukraine, bolstered by European allies, views the invasion as an imperial overreach. With Trump in his second presidential term, he seeks quick solutions, though analysts argue the situation requires more nuanced approaches. Russian officials dismiss these measures as inconsequential to the battlefield.
