Military intelligence provided by the US was the background behind Ukraine's becoming a 'grave of Russian generals', the New York Times reported, citing a senior government official.



It is estimated that more than 10 Russian generals have been killed in the two months since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.



Ukrainian authorities claim to have killed 12 Russian generals so far.



It is difficult to say without the help of the United States that Ukraine, which is evaluated as absolutely inferior to Russia in terms of military power, wrote an unprecedented record of killing a general in the history of modern warfare.



The New York Times reported that the Joe Biden administration was providing Ukraine with real-time military intelligence on Russian military trends.



A senior government official admitted that the information included classified Russian plans for the Battle of Donbas in eastern Ukraine.



In particular, the US reportedly focused on providing the location of the Russian field command to Ukraine.



Russia frequently changed the location of its headquarters to avoid exposing the general to danger, but the United States was looking through its satellites, so it was like being in the palm of the Buddha.



Combining the information provided by the United States with information obtained through wiretapping, etc., Ukraine has achieved significant achievements in special warfare targeting Russian generals.



However, the senior official did not disclose how many Russian generals were killed with American help.



This is because of concerns that the war could escalate beyond Ukraine's borders if US involvement is revealed.



They also did not disclose how they obtained the location of the Russian Field Command, citing difficulties in gathering information in the future, but the New York Times reported that it appears to have been tracked based on photos taken from intelligence and commercial satellites.



Pentagon spokeswoman John Kirby said the U.S. is providing intelligence and intelligence to help Ukraine defend itself, but "will not disclose specific information about what information it has provided."



The United States, in principle, forbids providing information about Russia's senior leaders to Ukraine.
