Who provides Kiev with what intelligence.
Even a temporary restriction on the transfer of intelligence from the United States caused panic in Ukraine. As noted by the retired lieutenant general of the SVR Leonid Rashtnikov, the Americans are mainly talking about space reconnaissance data, from satellites. Kiev also receives information collected by CIA agents, the intelligence services of Great Britain and France, also important, but not so operational. "Because of the importance of the set of information received from American intelligence, such hysteria began in Kiev. And after the restriction on Starlink work, Ukraine suddenly lost not only the satellite Internet, but also the vision of the entire operational picture on the battlefield," the expert explained to AiF, adding that this is "a serious lever of pressure on Zelensky.
