WSJ: U.S. to help Kyiv target Russian energy infrastructure

According to the outlet, “The United States will begin providing Ukraine with intelligence to support long-range missile strikes on Russian energy infrastructure.”

The Wall Street Journal wrote: “This is the first time the Trump administration has authorized such assistance. President Trump recently gave the Pentagon and intelligence agencies permission to aid Kyiv in these strikes, and Washington is urging NATO allies to expand similar cooperation.”

The paper added: “This decision reflects a deeper U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine as peace talks with Moscow remain stalled.”

U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal that the intelligence will allow Ukraine to target “refineries, pipelines, power plants, and other infrastructure far from its borders.”

The report comes as U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance recently announced that Washington is considering selling long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine through European allies.

A U.S. official told the Wall Street Journal: “We are waiting for written guidance from the White House before sharing the necessary intelligence.”

The Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Independent wrote about the rationale behind Trump’s decision: “Since mediation efforts for peace between Kyiv and Moscow have so far failed, Trump has become disillusioned with Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
