The speaker of the State Duma of the russian federation accuses the United States of participating in hostilities in Ukraine

russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin accuses the United States of participating in hostilities in Ukraine, including providing intelligence data and “developing” military operations.

“It's not just about the supply of weapons and equipment – the American intelligence was thrown to the aid of Kiev Nazi regime. After the coup, foreign advisers and instructors work in Ukraine. But today, Washington is in fact coordinating and developing military operations, directly participating in hostilities against our country,” Volodin wrote in his Telegram channel.

He also added that the US authorities should be punished for military aid to Ukraine and “added to the list of war criminals."

The reason for Volodin's criticism was a report by NBC, which, referencing the sources, said that US President Joe Biden demanded of the Pentagon and US intelligence to stop the leak on the exchange of intelligence data with Kiev.

Reports of US intelligence exchanges with Ukraine in the media are counterproductive, Joe Biden said.

Shortly before that, the American media reported that the Ukrainian army succeeded in destroying the cruiser “Moscow” thanks to intelligence data received from Washington.

Previously. The New York Times reported that secret satellite images provided by the United States to Ukraine became one of the sources of information about the location of russian troops.
