Former Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatowski, a member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) and former Pentagon analyst, spoke with Sputnik about Ukraine’s ongoing Kursk incursion. In a word, Kwiatowski doesn’t buy the story that the U.S. and NATO authorities weren’t informed about the Kursk incursion.
“All Ukrainian military activities, especially long-planned ones, utilize U.S. surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance assistance. The Kursk invasion qualifies here. The weapons systems themselves included U.S. and NATO systems and some of those are operated by U.S. and NATO personnel…. I don’t believe Western government officials, like the Secretary of Defense [Lloyd] Austin, Secretary of State [Antony] Blinken, or the members of the National Security Council were surprised,” Kwiatkowski said.
