US intelligence helping Ukraine kill Russian generals: Report

U.S. intelligence on the location of Russian generals in Ukraine has been provided to Ukrainian forces, allowing them to kill many of the high-ranking military officers who have died on the battlefield, according to a report on Wednesday.

The intelligence sharing has helped kill as many as 12 Russian generals in Ukraine and is part of a secret effort by the Biden administration to provide the Ukrainians with information on Russian troop movements and the location of mobile Russian military command posts, according to the New York Times report.

Senior U.S. officials interviewed in the report did not say how many Russian generals had been killed as a direct result of U.S. intelligence sharing.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said he would not "speak to the details" of the intelligence being provided to Ukraine, according to the report, but that the United States provides “Ukraine with information and intelligence that they can use to defend themselves.”
