The US's Importance in the War in Ukraine

The documents contain new details about a Chinese spy balloon dubbed Killeen 23 by US intelligence agencies that earlier this year flew over the United States. One details information apparently obtained through US eavesdropping on Russia's foreign intelligence service and suggest that China approved the provision of lethal aid to Russia in its war in Ukraine early this year. Another includes details of a test conducted by Beijing on one of its advanced experimental missiles, the DF-27 hypersonic glide vehicle on February 25th. It says the vehicle flew for 12 minutes across 1300 miles and that it possessed a high probability of penetrating US ballistic missile defense systems.
