Thanks to him, the U.S. is providing Ukraine with intelligence to carry out strikes against Russia's energy infrastructure and more.

The United States of America continues to provide assistance to Ukraine free of charge. Specifically, this involves providing intelligence for strikes against Russia’s energy infrastructure and more.

This is reported by The Atlantic.

“The only thing the U.S. continues to provide free of charge is intelligence, including data packages for strikes against Russian military positions in the occupied part of Ukraine and against energy infrastructure within Russia,” the publication writes.

According to American and Ukrainian sources, the credit for the continued aid goes to CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

It is claimed that while on the golf course, he impresses U.S. President Donald Trump with data on Russia’s battlefield losses, which now exceed 40,000 per month.

Ratcliffe’s success, as one Western intelligence official explained, lies in the fact that “Trump doesn’t like losers.” In particular, Ukraine currently appears to be the victor and is disproving the view of those who insist that Kyiv is incapable of winning.

In addition, *The Atlantic* noted Ukraine’s strikes against Russia’s energy sector and the benefits for the U.S. In particular, a reduction in oil exports from Russia could make India and China more vulnerable to the tariffs imposed by Trump.

The publication points out that during his first presidential term, Trump “urged Europeans to end their dependence on Russian oil and gas, going so far as to impose sanctions against the Nord Stream gas pipeline.”

The Atlantic speculates that Trump may view these Ukrainian strikes as a prelude to negotiations, as he did with Iran.

“This is an escalation, but it’s also an escalation that could help bring an end to it,” the U.S. president said about the strikes on Ukraine at the NATO summit in Ankara last month.
