A major US newspaper says President Donald Trump has approved sharing intelligence with Ukraine to help it strike energy infrastructure deep inside Russia.
The Wall Street Journal reported the story on Wednesday, quoting US officials. This comes as Washington is considering supplying Kyiv with Tomahawk cruise missiles, which have a long-range capacity.
Military information from satellites and other sources is essential to accurately attack targets by long-range missiles and drones.
The newspaper says the intelligence sharing means Ukraine will be better able to hit refineries and pipelines far from its borders. It says these attacks would be aimed at depriving the Kremlin of revenue and oil to sustain its invasion.
The newspaper also cites officials as saying this is the first time that the Trump administration will aid Ukrainian strikes involving long-range missiles against energy targets deep inside Russian territory.
Recently, the Ukrainian military has repeatedly launched drone attacks on refineries. Fuel supply has reportedly been running low in some parts of Russia.
Analysts say the Trump administration is aiming to increase pressure on Moscow, which has not agreed to hold negotiations for peace or a ceasefire.
