US intelligence ‘has helped Ukraine assassinate Russian generals’

The Telegraph  

The US has passed intelligence to Ukrainian forces which has helped them assassinate a number of high-ranking Russian generals, security sources have said. In an interview with the New York Times, senior security sources, who wished to remain anonymous, said the US had used "a variety of sources, including classified and commercial satellites, to trace Russian troop movements". The US officials declined to say how many generals had been killed as a result of intelligence they had given to Ukrainian forces. Valery Gerasimov, Vladimir Putin's top general in Ukraine, came within minutes of being killed by laser-guided artillery fire this week when intelligence revealed he was on a covert visit to the Russian frontline, Ukraine said.
