Russia believes the United States is deeply involved in Ukrainian attacks against it and has raised the issue with Washington, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in comments broadcast on Friday (August 14, 2026). He said that the alleged U.S. support included the supply of intelligence.

“We have submitted a series of questions to the State Department requesting comment, including on the matter of intelligence data and the fact that the U.S. is far more deeply involved in organising and executing strikes deep within Russian territory against civilian targets. We await a response,” Mr. Lavrov told state TV. No immediate comment was available from the U.S. side.
