 The United States is not providing Ukraine with intelligence for targets inside Russia, the Pentagon said Thursday, calling the Russian accusations “nonsense.”

“I don’t have any information in regards to whether or not the Ukrainians have conducted these types of operations, I’d refer you to them,” Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder told reporters.

“I can say definitively that the notion of the U.S. providing intelligence or information to the Ukrainians to target locations inside Russia is nonsense. We are not at war with Russia, nor do we seek war with Russia,” Ryder added.
