The New York Times reports Ukraine is receiving intelligence from the United States on the whereabouts of Russian generals, which the Ukrainians are using to launch lethal attacks.
US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson, however, said in a statement that battlefield intelligence was not provided to the Ukrainians "with the intent to kill Russian generals."
Multiple sources reportedly told the newspaper that the US was not involved in the strike at a location in eastern Ukraine where Russian General Valery Gerasimov was present.
On Tuesday, US General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Senate panel, "There’s a significant amount of intelligence flowing to Ukraine from the United States."
