Not for promotion: US and Britain passed the Armed Forces Satellite Photos from Kursk region - NYT

Anonymous US officials share that various intelligence data were also in the hands of the defense forces. Ukrainian commanders were to use them to monitor hostile reinforcements, not for the offensive. Ukraine received satellite images and reconnaissance data on the Kursk region from the United States and the United Kingdom, where the Armed Forces surgery has been ongoing for almost 3 weeks. This is stated in The New York Times.

The authors of the material remind that US officials continue to insist that they did not receive a warning from Kiev about the preparation for the offensive and that everything happened quite secretly. Washington still raises questions about what strategic goals in the Armed Forces, whether they intend to hold positions, and how much they intend to move forward.

At the same time, anonymous US officials in a comment to reporters told that the US and the United Kingdom could provide Ukraine with satellite images and other information about the Russian region. This was not done to help advance on the front, but to ensure that the Armed Forces commanders could better track Russian reinforcements that could attack them or interrupt surgery.

At the same time, the sources also add that more defense is trying to occupy the territory in the Russian region, the higher risk of "overstrain of supply lines and air defense". But the introduction of additional units in the Kursk region may allegedly weaken the weaknesses in the Donbass. We will remind, on August 23 it was reported that the United States allow Ukraine to use American weapons in Kursk operation.
