Putin, and pressing for an end to the fighting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But for nearly three years before Mr. Trump\u2019s return to power, the United States and Ukraine were joined in an extraordinary partnership of intelligence, strategy, planning and technology whose evolution and inner workings have been known only to a small circle of American and allied officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With remarkable transparency, the Pentagon has offered a public accounting of the $66.5 billion in weaponry it has supplied to Ukraine. But a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/03\/29\/world\/europe\/us-ukraine-military-war-wiesbaden.html\" title=\"\">New York Times investigation<\/a> reveals that America\u2019s involvement in the war was far deeper than previously understood. The secret partnership both guided big-picture battle strategy and funneled precise targeting information down to Ukrainian soldiers in the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here are five takeaways from the investigation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-458f8b39\">A U.S. base in Wiesbaden, Germany, supplied the Ukrainians with the coordinates of Russian forces on their soil.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The idea behind the partnership was that America\u2019s close cooperation with Ukraine would compensate for Russia\u2019s vast advantages in manpower and weaponry. To guide the Ukrainians as they deployed their ever-more-sophisticated arsenal, the Americans created an operation called Task Force Dragon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The secret center of the partnership was at the U.S. Army garrison in Wiesbaden, Germany. Each morning, U.S. and Ukrainian military officers set targeting priorities \u2014 Russian units, pieces of equipment or infrastructure. American and coalition intelligence officers searched satellite imagery, radio emissions and intercepted communications to find Russian positions. Task Force Dragon then gave the Ukrainians the coordinates so they could shoot at them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Military officials worried that it might be unduly provocative to call the targets \u201ctargets.\u201d Instead they were referred to as \u201cpoints of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-3d8cf302\">U.S. intelligence and artillery helped Ukraine quickly turn the tide against the Russian invasion.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In spring 2022, the Biden administration agreed to send High Mobility Artillery Systems, or HIMARS, which used satellite-guided rockets for strikes up to 50 miles distant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the war\u2019s first year, the Ukrainians were extremely dependent on the Americans for intelligence, and Task Force Dragon vetted and oversaw virtually every HIMARS strike.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The strikes caused Russian casualty rates to soar, and Ukraine\u2019s 2022 counteroffensive was largely successful: By December, the Ukrainians held an unlikely, David-versus-Goliath upper hand against their Russian foe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5bf8e9c3\">The Biden administration kept moving its red lines.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">From the first, administration officials sought to lay down a red line: America was not fighting Russia; it was helping Ukraine. Still, they worried that steps taken to accomplish that might provoke Mr. Putin to attack N.A.T.O. targets or perhaps make good on his nuclear threats. Even as the administration developed an ever-greater tolerance of risk to help Ukraine meet the evolving threat, many of the most potentially provocative steps were taken in secret.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Easing a prohibition against American boots on Ukrainian ground, Wiesbaden was allowed to put about a dozen military advisers in Kyiv. To avoid drawing public attention to their presence, the Pentagon initially called them \u201csubject matter experts.\u201d Later the team was expanded, to about three dozen, and the military advisers were eventually allowed to travel to Ukrainian command posts closer to the fighting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">In 2022, the U.S. Navy was authorized to share targeting information for Ukrainian drone strikes on warships just beyond the territorial waters of Russian-annexed Crimea. The C.I.A. was allowed to support Ukrainian operations within Crimean waters; that fall, the spy agency covertly helped Ukrainian drones strike Russian warships in the port of Sevastopol.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">In January 2024, U.S. and Ukrainian military officers in Wiesbaden jointly planned a campaign \u2014 using coalition-supplied long-range missiles, along with Ukrainian drones \u2014 to attack about 100 Russian military targets across Crimea. The campaign, named Operation Lunar Hail, largely succeeded in forcing the Russians to pull equipment, facilities and forces in Crimea back to the Russian mainland.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7c6b7780\">Ultimately, the U.S. military and C.I.A. were allowed to help with strikes into Russia.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The hardest red line was the Russian border. But in spring 2024, to protect the northern city of Kharkiv against a Russian assault, the administration authorized the creation of an \u201cops box\u201d \u2014 a zone of Russian territory within which U.S. officers in Wiesbaden could provide the Ukrainians with precise coordinates. The box\u2019s first iteration extended across a wide swath of Ukraine\u2019s northern border. The box was expanded after North Korea sent troops to help fight the Ukrainians\u2019 incursion into Russia\u2019s Kursk region. The U.S. military was later allowed to enable missile strikes in an area of southern Russia where the Russians staged forces and equipment for their offensive in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Longstanding policy barred the C.I.A. from providing intelligence on targets on Russian soil. But the C.I.A. could request \u201cvariances,\u201d carve-outs to support strikes for specific objectives. Intelligence had identified a vast munitions depot in Toropets, 290 miles north of the Ukrainian border. On Sept. 18, 2024, a swarm of drones slammed into the munitions depot. The blast, as powerful as a small earthquake, opened a crater the width of a football field. Later, the C.I.A. was allowed to enable Ukrainian drone strikes in southern Russia to try to slow advances in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-e6ad815\">Political disagreements in Ukraine contributed to the 2023 counteroffensive\u2019s collapse.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The 2023 counteroffensive was meant to build momentum after the first year\u2019s triumphs. But after the partners held war games in Wiesbaden and agreed on a strategy, the plan ran headlong into Ukrainian politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Ukrainian armed forces chief, Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, embraced the plan, whose centerpiece was an assault in the direction of the southern city of Melitopol that would cut off Russian supply lines. But his rival and subordinate, Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky, had his own plan \u2014 to impale Russian forces in the occupied eastern city of Bakhmut. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky,<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>sided with him and divided up the ammunition and forces between two main fronts instead of one. The Ukrainians never did reclaim Bakhmut, and within months, the counteroffensive ended in failure. Russia now had the upper hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
