US Intelligence Helped Ukraine Strike Russian Oil Sites, Kremlin Orders Media Silence
The Financial Times said US intelligence has helped Ukraine’s long-range drones evade Russian air defenses, contributing to a record surge in strikes on Russian oil refineries. The campaign has strained Moscow’s air defenses, prompted the Kremlin to order state-controlled media to suppress coverage of the attacks, and coincides with assessments that Russia's offensive potential is nearing exhaustion despite the Kremlin's refusal to soften its negotiating position.
