Ukraine Begging US to Provide More Intel Data on Russian Military Facilities

Kiev has been increasingly requesting more intelligence data about the location of Russian troops and its most important military facilities from the White House amid continuing difficulties on the battlefield, The New York Times reported, citing US and Ukrainian officials.

The Ukrainian authorities have intensified their calls as Ukrainian servicemen have been struggling to maintain ground positions amid Russia's progress in the direction of Kharkov, the newspaper reported.

Although US President Joe Biden's administration did use to provide Kiev with some intelligence data, it had long rejected such requests as the White House wanted no US intelligence reports to be used for attacks deep into Russian territory. However, the most recent request has been accepted by the White House for consideration, the report said.
