OREANDA-NEWS. Representatives of the Republican Party on the US Senate Intelligence Committee called on Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes to share additional intelligence with Ukraine, including on Crimea. The Axios portal writes about this with reference to the appeal of senators.

Last week, the Pentagon publicly acknowledged that the US was providing Ukrainians with information about the Donbass.

“While we are watching Russia focus its attention on southern and eastern Ukraine, we urge you to ensure that our intelligence agencies actively share intelligence with Ukrainians to help them protect, protect and reclaim every inch of Ukraine’s sovereign territory, including Crimea and Donbass. ", the letter says.

At the same time, an official representative of the American authorities in a comment to the portal called the appeal “completely unnecessary”, emphasizing that “the United States provides detailed and timely intelligence to Ukrainians in a number of areas.”

Earlier, US Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby said the Pentagon acknowledges that intelligence information the United States is providing to Ukraine could be used for offensive operations.
