Washington keeps getting caught in lies as the Western establishment pretends to not be backing Ukraine with its incursion into Russia.
A senior U.S. intelligence officer acknowledged this week that Kyiv had access to a consortium of satellite imagery that the Zelensky regime used to plan and execute their invasion into Russia’s Kursk Region, a claim that Washington denies as false.
According to the powers that be here in the United States, nobody knew in advance that Ukraine was planning the invasion, even though it has already come out that both the U.S. and Great Britain “provided Ukraine with satellite imagery and other information,” to quote a New York Times report.
The Times included a caveat claim that the satellite imagery and other intelligence was not meant “to help Ukraine push deeper into Russia, but to allow its commanders to better track Russian reinforcements that might attack them or cut off their eventual withdrawal back to Ukraine” because it was supposedly delivered after the start of the incursion.
Vice Admiral Frank Whitworth, who directs the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), commented that the Times may be confused. The paper’s sources could have been referring to the commercial satellite imagery that the U.S. has been giving Ukraine access to for years through the Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery (G-EGD) portal, operated by the space company Maxar.
“There were over 400,000 accounts in that particular portal,” Whitworth said at a recent discussion panel hosted by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance. “And so, the availability of commercial imagery is sustained.”
“If that is what they are using for purposes of this particular campaign, this limited campaign in Kursk, then I’ll defer to them to confirm that. But the availability is always there.”
