Volodymyr Zelenskyy told NBC News it would be a “mistake” if American-made missile interceptors bound for Ukraine were diverted to Gulf countries being attacked by Iran.
Russia took satellite images of a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia three times in the days before Iran attacked the site and wounded American troops, according to a summary of Ukrainian intelligence shared with NBC News by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In an interview in the Gulf nation of Qatar on Saturday, Zelenskyy said he was “100%” confident Russia was sharing such intelligence with Iran to help target U.S. forces across the Middle East.
“I think that it’s in Russia’s interest to help Iranians. And I don’t believe — I know — that they share information,” he said. “Do they help Iranians? Of course. How many percent? One-hundred percent.”
This is what was going to say - this could be as simple as the known orbits of known spy satellites crossed over the base, so we can assume they took pictures, to known spy satellites were seen to have changed orbit and crossed over the base, even more likely to take pictures. And of course Russia is going to share: it would be surprising if they didn’t
Heck, Ukraine may have been notified of it by the us, for all we know, but we either didn’t talk to ourselves or didn’t connect the dots
