Would US Intel be passing spy satellite imagery of Russian positions/movements to Ukraine via

NATO partners ? And if not, why not ? Surely there is no better time to do so ?

1. This has likely been happening for months.

3. I agree on the overall buildup, but I wonder if they'd be providing a constant stream now, as the

Ukrainian military appear to very well positioned so far, to take out lines of Russian convoys on the move.

ps I note that the EU are asking their Satellite centre in Madrid to provide their imagery now too.

2. I'm sure it's happening. There is a lot we don't know.

4. Why would they need to do it "via NATO partners" instead of directly? n/t

5. Only that US Intel have been very reserved when giving out info as having come from them directly.

6. The U.S. is openly sending military aid in the form of money and weapons. n/t

7. Have been watching the Military...

Radar over Europe. The US/UK/NATO have had all their AWACS, E3Sentry, USAF Command & Control, plus currently a E-8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) 707 up. Lots of UK/USAF/Netherlands tankers, often 5 tankers that are refueling something.

I suspect, but have no confirmation one way or another that info is getting to places it needs to go.

8. The EU is now openly providing satellite data...

9. I would imagine there are encrypted, real-time over-lays for Google Maps

that are providing Ukrainians with detailed info on Russian troop movements.
