According to a report from NBC News, President Biden spoke with top administration officials on Friday and said reports in the media about US intelligence sharing with Ukraine have been counterproductive.
The report cited two anonymous administration officials who said Biden spoke with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, CIA Director William Burns, and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines. One source said Biden told them the reports “distract from our objective,” while the other source said he conveyed that the leaks must stop.
This week, US officials claimed to media outlets that US intelligence helped Ukraine kill Russian generals and aided Ukraine in the sinking of the Russian warship Moskva, the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. While the claims aren’t confirmed and might not be true, the fact that US officials are making such statements to the media is a major provocation toward Moscow.
Both the Pentagon and the White House wouldn’t outright deny the details of the reports but did downplay them by saying that the US isn’t sharing intelligence with Ukraine on specific targets.
Asked about the Moskva, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the US was providing “relevant and timely” intelligence and that if “they do decide to do something with that intelligence, then they make the decisions about acting on it.” For their part, Russia denies that the Moskva was sunk by Ukraine and insists that a fire caused by an ammunition explosion took down the ship.
The Biden administration has expanded intelligence sharing with Ukraine since Russia invaded, but US officials had previously been hesitant to disclose details over fears of provoking Moscow.
On top of the increased intelligence sharing, the Biden administration continues to escalate military aid to Ukraine. Biden is seeking from Congress $33 billion in new assistance for Kyiv, which includes $20.4 billion in military aid.
The US objectives in the war go beyond just helping Ukraine defend itself, and the administration is digging in for a long-term campaign. Austin recently said that one of the US goals is to see a “weakened” Russia.
Biden lays down the law against leaks.
Well, that opens the floodgates… We may even get an un-redacted low-down on Area 51.
It is called by another name (other than Area 51) by those in the know. I have been told to take what we think we know about that base, then realize we do not know a f*cking thing. A few years back there was an article in a Las Vegas newspaper about the security guards on the non-existent base pulling off to get higher wages.
It starts well, with leaks about orders to stop leaking.
‘…the US isn’t sharing intelligence with Ukraine on specific targets.’ – So what are they sharing? Details on the weather? Horoscope predictions?
Come on, to qualify as Intel it has got to be hard info on something that Ukraine can use to their advantage. Back tracking and pretending there is this acceptable gulf between Intel and consequences only makes U.S. Intel look like an oxymoron.
Agree. It’s an illegal aggression on the part of US/NATO, and Putin should take it to the UN, call an urgent meeting of the Security Council, and make them all have to do a Colin Powell.
Pat Robertson does not think the UN is worth keeping, he wants the adjudicating authority of the nations relocated to JRS for his version of jesus, a politician’s politician.
The killer drones are controlled by USA Spaz Farce technicians remotely by Satellite.
Star Link provides the NGO wifi on Proprietary 5g Phased arrays that also can act as radar/ lydar,… it can see folds on your shirt sleeves.
We are striking targets with our military and non military assets.
Officially Elanora Musk threw down on Russia to brag about his ability to wage war with one arm behind his back while the other executes a kill command.
MUSK ALREADY DECLARED OUR WAR then a Russian ship caught fire and it sunk. The news is Musk made it personal and Russia is fully aware.
Starlink has CO2 lasers and they were used AGAIN secretly.
Our Bond Villain writes Malware and intends to have a monopoly on all digital access. That is the world being built, that is the infrastructure to live in and if you don’t gave a Twlitter account, you have all access to all goods and services denied. Dreamy huh?
we can destroy with invisible burning CO2 lasers from Low Earth Orbit Satellites. What say we get surprised? That we get blindsighted and destroyed? Hypersonics can be on our doorsteps in a matter of minutes. Minutes and DC, NYC, the whole eastern coast is fried!
Who wins that round? history books? lol
keep track of politicians and insiders heading out west where Western WH is.
You need to stop watching Hollywood movies. Space lasers Lol.
Oh, so it’s the US officials bragging to the media about helping Ukraine kill Russian leaders that’s the problem, not the helping in every way imaginable to kill Russians itself. Honesty is bad, killing is fine. Priorities now straight.
I would expect Kiev to be incinerated if reaching out to RU military leadership and assasinating KARMA is due back to Ukraine.
They seem to honor Karma in Kiev. Let’s see what their Nazi Karma brings them now? A rabbit’s foot?
Tit for tat karmic warfare is to cut the head of the beast off in Kiev.
Nuke it.
Make an example of them to NATO .
If NATO WANTS TO RUMBLE, THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
Melt Zekenski’s face off on Mother’s Day.
Ukraine can appoint another spokesperson, the one waiting in the cue.
So much hatred. You must be a Russian Nazi.
Morbid curiosity about what the results of that would end up being aside, a full nuclear exchange would be quite likely. Then again the US would feel entitled to roll the dice with everyone’s lives in Russia’s situation. Indeed we do often, trusting everyone else isn’t as psycho as us.
ALL of the cooperation and contribution to the Ze régime’s doomed fighting in Ukraine help to produce more and more deaths (mostly of Ukrainian conscripts) and destruction of much of the country. What is the point? Russia is next door, wants a neutral neighbor without Nazis (don’t pretend they are not active) and without attacks from USA∕NATO.What is unreasonable? Calling that war crimes (the USA actually blaming others!) while piling up obsolete arms in the war zone and refusing negotiations to end it, is the criminal behavior.
Here we go again, the Nazi excuse!.
There are way more Neo Nazis in Russia than in Ukraine.
And going Nazi on Ukraine so you can remove a handful of Azov guys is counter productive. The only entity behaving like Nazi right now is Russia.
Zelensky’s kids are baptized, not exactly a tenet of that religion the mongers pretend he is.
I give zero fcks about religions. Cannot opine on this department.
….but many of his defenders who deny the neo nazi influences of the Azov battalions by stating his religion, do.
Really?
Then lets bomb all of NATO, Ukraine and Russia!
Kill ALL THE NAZIS STARTING in UKRAINE.
good luck on your Nazi campaign. lol.
‘they got more’ is sophomoric rhetoric. No, they do not. They CELEBRATE every year how much they hate NAZIS. IT’S a big part of their national identity. Good luck finding NAZIS OR Mormons in Russia: access denied.
If you are against NAZIS then let’s get Ukraine cleaned up!
Then you can policec Russia and purge them of said Nazis but last I looked, NAZIS don’t hunt NAZIS.
It is not counter productive to kill every last Azov NAZI, it’s highly productive and their enablers get the same treatment.
It’s not murder killing NAZIS, it’s nessasary pest control.
They are an infestation like breeding rats in a granary.
The Nazi clean up should start in Russia as they have more neo nazis there.
You should also learn the definition of Nazi as it seems you call everything that you don’t like Nazi. And again, the Neo NAzi in Ukraine is just a Russia excuse to take the land.
Heard of Operation Paperclip? Done a cursory study of the history of Ukraine?
Yes i have. Have also lived in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. What’s your point?
Russia?
Russia does not allow Nazis, when did they give you the boot?
I have a current 3 year visa for Russia.
You remind me of those super anti gays pundits. They often turned out to be closet gays themselves. You keep accusing anybody that disagree with you as Nazi.
You now sound like a closet Nazi.
And you sound like a CIA-paid troll.
And you sound like an idiot that thinks is right all the time.
Hehe, so true!
When are you going to “come out of the closet”?
ROFL
By Zelensky suddenly pretending to be a practicing (you know what religion, but it can’t be stated according to the “guidelines) when his children were baptized Christian, he has ignited the threat of war again in the Middle East.
Why bother lying about the guidelines? There’s nothing whatsoever in them that forbids naming someone’s stated religion.
Well then how come when I named the generic term for someone who is an adherent to that religion, it has to be reviewed by a moderator, and still hasn’t appeared after your or whoever’s review?>
I posted the exact same post as above with that term included that i had to substitute as shown. Why is that?
Any use of that particular term is automatically held for moderation because if it isn’t, our comment section gets overrun by over Stormfront / Daily Stormer material.
It’s only KEPT off the site if it’s an actual ethnic slur.
Whine all you want, lie about it if it pleases you, but the rules will remain the rules.
I didn’t lie at all; you just proved what i stated in your reply. Is any other religious term moderated too? How about the Islamophobes? T here’s no evidence at all that Stormfront or Daily Stormer material overruns this website. But even if it was, so what?
Your “rules” sound similar to that “rules based order”
There have been times when other particular religious terms have been moderated based on content flooding to sneak in slurs based on current events.
The filters to cut down on the necessity of carefully scanning already published comments for ethnic slurs against Jews are pretty much permanent, because those are the ones that are attempted all day, every day, multiple times per day.
You’re correct — there’s no evidence at all that Stormfront or Daily Stormer material overruns this web site … because we don’t LET it do so.
Is that Disqus doing that here?
I’m not sure what you mean.
There are some “automatic” Disqus filters which hold comments that look like spam, etc. for a human eye to look at.
There are other filters created by Antiwar.com which do the same thing.
The filters intended to catch likely ethnic slurs, etc., are created by Antiwar.com.

Is Zelensky an Arab Catholic?
How come this wasn’t moderated? It could have contained an ethnic/religious slur.
Bullshit! Any comment critical of “the Jews” or employing the general term “Jew” or “jew”, or using the “((( xxx )))” code for Jewish gets removed.
The “Stormfront/Daily Stormer” excuse is just that, and excuse to justify the censorship. Compulsory, pragmatic censorship.
Antiwar.com, like all publications, lives in a political climate where criticism of the Jews and Israel is “the third rail” of US culture: touch it and your done for. And Antiwar.com, out of pragmatism and basic survival, must “render unto Israel what is Israel’s”.
I have danced around this “line” and know it well.
So Thomas, does this comment “disappear” as well? Go ahead, it’s easier than rebutting the truth.
The (((xxx))) code is exactly that — code. Code for “blaming this on THE JOOOOZ.”
Antiwar.com clearly not just allows, but actively publishes, criticism of Israel. The next person banned here for criticizing Israel will be the first person banned here for criticizing Israel.
What Antiwar.com doesn’t allow is ethnic slurs against Jews.
You can whine about that all you like, but it won’t change.
“The (((xxx))) code is exactly that — code. Code for “blaming this on THE JOOOOZ.” ”
It is a code that identifies the individual as Jewish, and thereby allows the reader to reach his/her/its own conclusion regarding tribal participation and responsibility. Without question the millennia-long situation of hostility toward the Jews means that all such pointed comments are accusative in nature. Is the hostility and accusation justified? No discussion on that question is allowed because … ***ANTI-SEMITISM!!!***
We all know the drill. This is the world we live in. All representative democracies have been purchased, which is to say subverted, by special interest money: Big Pharma, the Defense Establishment, the global Financial Services business (the wealthy, investment banking, insurance, etc), & “others”.
As for me, I’m just lucky.
I’m safe. I’m not impacted at all by the evil currently on the march in the world. No one is coming after me. I’m sufficiently prosperous to have not a financial care in the world and I’m far outside the nuclear blast zone.
I wish everyone enjoyed the same safety, but … well … that’s not the way the world is.
Good luck to you all.
It’s hardly ever used to identify an individual. It’s almost always used to “hint” that some darkly alluded to “they” are Jewish, and are doing something bad BECAUSE “they” are Jewish.
Look, I get it. You don’t like other people being allowed to have rules about how you may use their property.
But the thing is, you don’t have to like it. That’s how it is whether you like it or not.
The (((xxx))) code is exactly that — code. Code for “blaming this on THE JOOOOZ.”

guidelines, link please!!!
and it wasn’t a lie. It does forbid immediate posting of the comment.
Again, im not religious. You are obviously. Deal with that issue in your head. Im having a beer right now.
Did anyone say you were religious. Why deny something that no one accused you of?
You again, with the usual pathetic lies.
You are delusional. Stop watching so much RT news.
The eu does not allow rt. Unfortunately you are still permitted your petty comments.
Don
Don’t spend the rest of your life misinformed about Ukraine’s long love affair with the Nazi Germany and their visceral racist hatred of Russians, Poles and Jews. Ukrainians lead by the Nazi collaborator Stephan Bandara slaughtered tens of thousands Russians, Jews and Poles during WWII. Ukrainians have since made Stephan Bandera a revered Ukrainian national hero replete with monuments and streets named after him and torch light parades in full Nazi kit. Ever since 2014, President Bidens Kiev regime has pursued a policy to ethnically cleans Donbass/eastern Ukraine of ethic Russian Ukrainians which has lead to the cur rent civil war and Russia’s Special Military Opertion to demilitarize and deNazify President Bidens neoNazi infested regime:

DJ NAZIS are there and proud of it. look at youtube for the last few years to see them. In what way is Russia behaving, after waiting 8 years trying to solve the Uke violence which is still going on but at last being reduced? Try a few real news sites NOT the Western MSM. Looka t the EU leaders and the USA. is this normal???
Warfare has been revolutionized by the “eyes in the sky”. Example: “Blitzkrieg” as developed and once waged by Germany is no longer possible because long before the planes, tanks, and troops cross the border their preparations and intent are known. That is why our government and that of Ukraine knew quite well what was on Ukraine’s border and where it was before the Russian invasion began.
We now know that building surface warships is a waste of money and sailors and that is no surprise. It was recently demonstrated and there should be no doubt who profited most from that demonstration.
The “eyes” also know most of the time where every enemy general is.
There is only one strategy which allows a return to “blitzkrieg” namely blind your enemy’s “eyes in the sky” before you even assemble your tanks etc. Putin neglected to do this which is a major reason why this war lasts so long.
Those Switch blade karmikaze drones are directly controlled by remote control with little input or adjustments. Once deployed, they are under direct supervision of the Spaz Farce. They said so.
Every launch has one or several targets to hit already lined up and programmed in. A simple laser can wet the targets by satellite too with an encoded signal for targeting. Lots of options and all by ONE military branch: the US Spaz Farce. We are acting in the capacity of a nation at War without making a formal declaration that we are infact AT WAR.
Satellites can oversee their targeting and it seems quite scalable from small to large drones.
Don’t expect Russia to respond in kind, with insincere death toys.
If pissing them off to throw down a real first strike is our strategy to say that they drew First Blood, then don’t expect a toy drone attack in Poland, expect Warsaw to be incinerated with Megatons of Fury.
We are playing high stakes nuclear chicken and we underestimate Russian resolve to end the Western world’s political tampering with more than the whisper of a toy drone.
Talking tough is to tell Ukraine and NATO to de-natzify before it gets nuked beyond recognition.
Commit and Act Of War and then lie about it.
Lloyd J Austin the Terd and obama the puppet master pulling Biden’s strings have no honor.
Camera One: Don’t call it a war, it’s a “special military operation.”
Camera Two: You TOLD someone what we’re DOING? That’s an ACT OF WAR!
Better said, civil war. The Russia-Ukraine unity goes much deeper than any legalist artifice concocted under the guidance of the post war regnum, and the same as obtained in the first blush after the fall of the USSR. I should think the gross inadequacy of this fiction sufficiently demonstrated by the roiling cauldron that is N. Africa and the Mid-East.
The significance of the “inept” advance on Kiev is that of a deliberate decision, made above the rank of General, to go in soft to preserve the historic relationship, discretely lancing the Nazi putrescence. In other words, not a War, a Special Military Operation. However, the boldness of the Washington Nazis in assisting their Ukra division proceeded to make this almost impossible.
After the coup in Ukraine in 2014, Mr. Biden was basically the czar of Ukraine. Hunter scored a sweet job paying $85,000 per month. Mr. Trump fed Kiev with money and weapons, also pulled us out of the INF treaty with Russia. Interesting guy, that Mr. Trump. Smooches up with Putin to get his Trump hotel in Moscow (right up to 2015), which he didn’t get, then back stabs him.
So there are “leaks” that we are assisting Ukraine and then there are “leaks” that Biden wants these leaks to stop? Perhaps all these purposeful leaks including Biden’s are for specific and different reasons? Remember, the game is narrative management and directed almost entirely at the home population.
“One source said Biden told them the reports “distract from our objective,” while the other source said he conveyed that the leaks must stop.”
Yes, and that objective is to ensure that Americans ONLY hear the one-sided bullsh*t laden propaganda that Washington spoon feeds them. And anyone not buying into this will be Assanged.
Biden’s mental condition precludes him from setting any policy.
Death to Fascists.
Death and destruction to Nazified governments of NATO.
really, rub them out if they want to go back to being NAZIS.
And if Israel wants to defend NAZIFACATION OF NATO THEN Buh-bye Zionist latter day freaks.
really.
Melt Zekenski’s face off and whatever of the Azov Batallion you can too.
NATO either straightens up or buh-bye old world 4 ever.
Religion does not matter to those that would rather avoid talking about it. In Ukraine it matters. IT IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING UKRAINE. The fact that nobody is talking about it tells me just how touchy the issue is. So, let’s come out straight with it. Western Ukraine Catholics are the backbone of all Nazi battalions. This was Nazi region during WWII, to be rebranded as anti-communists and romantic “dissenters”, until Soviet Uniin fell. Then it was time to ditch the anti-comunism fame. Nazism was in fashion again, and now openly against Russians — the oeople who broke the back of Hitler’s mighty force and its MANY European dedicated allies. Time to recognize the obvious. Nazi allies throughout Eastern Europe and Baltics, including Finland were thrown in a lifeline during Cold War and they helped US win it.
Now, THEY ARE AGAIN FREE TO HATE. Hitlet was raised to prominence by Vatican purse. He had no
money of his own, yet suddenly he had money for charities, soup kitchens, clothing donations (brown shirts). And having reached high levels of governance in many East Euuropean countries, sure enough — their priority of all priorities is to exact revenge on Russia. This fits nicely with Vatican sense of vindication and the never ending battle against the Eastern Christianity. Orthodox Christian faith has been in Vatican crosshairs
for over a millennium.
As Chatolics hail from Western Ukraine, the rest ofvtge country , Christian Orthodox are the rest of the Ukraine. Old Kiev Ukrainians and Russians.
The attempt was made to cause rift between Orthodox
Ukrainians and Orthodox Russians. To have Orthodox Ukrainians believe that it is safe to be part of new Ukraine, where former Nazis and their Othodox
Ukrainian victims — can ally themselves against Russians.
The current war is showing that Ukrainians are not trusted. Murder od mayors, political leaders , and journalists became a routine — all traitors.
This is a civil war within a war. And relugion matters
very much. Too many Orthodox Churches in Ukraine have been forcibly converted to Catholicism — but were allowed to keep their liturgy, making the congregation stilm think that it is their old church.
This war will be decided in the issue of Nazi overreach, and their attempt to take over and browbeat Orthodox Ukrainians to accept “westernism” and take common cause with Lvov government in the shadow.
General Zhukov in Berlin exactly 77 years ago:
“We have liberated Europe from Nazism but they will never forgive us for that”.
77 years later and they’re on it again. Same old racism, same old Drang nach osten same old Russians as “subhumans”.
They won’t forgive Russia this time either….
In total, 160 aircraft and 118 helicopters, 782 unmanned aerial vehicles, 299 anti-aircraft missile systems, 2,949 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 342 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,423 field artillery and mortars, as well as 2,769 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the special military operation.
After the town of Rubezhnoye came under LPR control, the village of Voevodovka was completely mopped up of Ukrainian forces despite several attempts by the AFU to counterattack.
The shelling of the cities of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk continues. All the villages on the eastern outskirts are under control of the LPR. Clashes continue to the south-east of Severodonetsk.
The LPR ambassador to Russia reported that a whole brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew from Lisichansk, leaving their positions after some clashes.
Russian-led forces moped up and took full control of the town of Popasnaya. At the same time, the units of the LPR People’s Militia claimed full control over the village of Nizhny.
The recent gains paved the way for Russian assault to Lisichansk from the south. Fierce clashes continue in Privolye, Shepilovo and Belogorovka.
