Ukraine Urges US for More Intelligence on Russian Forces Amid Struggle for Ground

Recent reports have confirmed that Ukraine has urgently requested the Biden administration to provide increased intelligence on the location of Russian forces and military targets within Russia. This request comes as Ukrainian forces face challenges in maintaining their positions in the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian officials, as well as a delegation of Ukrainian Parliament members, have engaged with their American counterparts to stress the need for the United States to authorize the use of American weaponry by Kyiv in Russia.

Heightened Urgency

Ukraine's appeals for support have significantly intensified in the past few weeks. This urgency has been fueled by Russia's exploitation of delays in the delivery of American arms and its escalated military activities in the Kharkiv region of northeastern Ukraine.

US Policy and Stance

Despite the mounting pressure, the White House has affirmed that its long-standing policy remains unaltered. The United States remains resolute in its stance against instigating or facilitating assaults within Russia. American officials have underscored their reluctance to witness U.S. weapons being used in cross-border offensives or their intelligence data being employed to target sites in Russia.
