TRUMP APPROVES INTEL FOR UKRAINE’S RUSSIAN ENERGY STRIKES

Thu 02 October 2025:

The United‌ States will begin providing Ukraine with intelligence to support long-range missile strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, marking the first time the Donald Trump administration has approved such aid, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.

President Trump recently authorized the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to aid Kyiv with the strikes, and Washington is urging NATO allies to expand similar cooperation.

The decision reflects a deepening US commitment to Ukrainian assistance as peace negotiations with Moscow have stalled.

Officials said the intelligence will allow Ukraine to target “refineries, pipelines, power stations and other infrastructure far from its borders” in a bid to weaken Russia’s economy.

The administration is also weighing the delivery of Tomahawk and Barracuda missiles, which could hit targets up to 500 miles away.

“We are awaiting written guidance from the White House before sharing the necessary intelligence,” one US official told the WSJ.

This development comes amid Trump’s shifting rhetoric on the war in Ukraine.

As his endeavours to broker peace between Kyiv and Moscow have thus far not succeeded, Trump has grown frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin and recently made his most pro-Ukrainian statements so far.
