US denies providing intelligence to Ukraine to destroy Russian Naval warship, Moskva

The US army has denied new reviews claiming it supplied intelligence help to Ukraine when it efficiently focused Russia’s prized warship final month with anti-ship cruise missiles.

The report on Thursday, Could 4, stated Ukrainian forces, having noticed a Russian warship within the Black Sea, referred to as their American contacts for affirmation that it was in actual fact the Moskva, and the US responded that it was, and supplied intelligence about its location.

However the Pentagon has now denied offering “particular focusing on data” to Ukraine to sink the Moskva, a Russian guided-missile cruiser that was the flagship of Moscow’s fleet within the Black Sea. 

“We didn’t present Ukraine with particular focusing on data for the Moskva,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby in a press release Thursday evening.

“We weren’t concerned within the Ukrainians’ determination to strike the ship or within the operation they carried out. We had no prior information of Ukraine’s intent to focus on the ship.”

“The Ukrainians have their very own intelligence capabilities to trace and goal Russian naval vessels, as they did on this case,” Kirby added.

Ukraine claimed to have struck the ship with two Neptune anti-ship missiles in mid-April.

The ship then sank because it was being towed again to Russia’s seaport for repairs. Russia stated the harm to the ship was the results of the detonation of ammunition.
