Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of solely relying on its Western allies for space surveillance data, specifically in the recent attack on the CPC pump station.
Putin emphasized that such attacks would be impossible without access to high-accuracy space intelligence, which Ukraine allegedly receives from Western sources.
He expressed uncertainty about the specific providers of the satellite imagery used in the attack, highlighting the strategic role of space data in targeting facilities.
The Russian leader’s comments underscore the geopolitical implications of space surveillance cooperation and its impact on regional conflicts.
