'Hundreds of Ukrainians have died': Western specialists have left Ukraine with satellite images.


According to Time magazine, all specialists who helped obtain and process satellite intelligence information at the military headquarters in Kyiv have left Ukraine. This step by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump undermined the negotiating position of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and improved the position of Russian forces on the front.
Casualties among Ukrainian servicemen
According to reports from five Ukrainian officials, the decision to refuse cooperation with the U.S. resulted in numerous losses among the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For example, hundreds of Ukrainians have died because Ukrainian troops were deprived of access to satellite images and could not detect the approach of Russian bombers and fighter jets. This led to an increase in Russian aggression on the front, particularly in the Kursk region, which is strategically important for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian army also lost access to satellite images from the American company Maxar Technologies, complicating the detection of Russian troop movements and monitoring the consequences of strikes in Ukraine and Russia.
Thus, the loss of support from Western partners, particularly the U.S., has significantly worsened the situation on the front in Ukraine and contributed to the successes of Russian forces.
