According to rumors, the US will provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy targets in Russia.

According to recent rumors, the US will give Ukraine intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure targets located deep within Russia. This would represent a major change in the White House‘s backing for Kyiv.

The move would be the first instance of Donald Trump‘s policy shifting since he said on social media at the end of September that Ukraine could retake all of the Russian-occupied territory.

According to reports in the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, which cited anonymous US sources, the White House expected NATO partners to follow suit after the policy was subtly altered before that declaration.

Western, and particularly US, intelligence in the form of satellite imagery and other monitoring data is considered a significant help in permitting the accurate targeting of Russian facilities deep inside its borders.

The US has not yet decided whether to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles, though, as US vice president JD Vance stated earlier this week that Trump was evaluating Kyiv’s request for the 1,500-mile-range missiles.

Nothing had changed, according to Russia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated: “The United States often sends intelligence to Ukraine via the internet. The supply and use of the entire infrastructure of Nato and the US to collect and transfer intelligence to Ukrainians is obvious.”

Trump claimed on social media that Kyiv may win the conflict after meeting with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in New York last week. He cited Russia’s growing economic problems as justification.

“I believe Ukraine, with the help of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form after getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the economic trouble it is causing Russia,” he said.

But since taking office, Trump’s stance on sharing intelligence with Kyiv—which is ultimately up to the president—has fluctuated depending on whoever he was siding with in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The United States halted all intelligence sharing with Kyiv for a week in March, shortly after Trump and Zelenskyy sat down in the White House at the end of February. Before Trump gave in to pressure from his allies in the West, Ukraine suffered swift defeats on the battlefield in the Kursk area of Russia.
