The U.S. intelligence community has relied on commercial satellite companies for insights into what’s happening in Ukraine dating back to before Russia's invasion.
Stacey Dixon, the principal deputy director of national intelligence, acknowledged earlier this week that the Pentagon reached out to specific companies months ago, when Russia was massing troops along the Ukrainian border.
HawkEye 360 has tracked Russia’s counterspace activities, while Maxar has documented Russia’s troop buildup and exposed alleged war crimes in the town of Bucha.In the early days of the invasion, Maxar was able to capture images of a 40-mile convoy of military vehicles heading from Belarus toward the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.
The alleged war crimes in Bucha"is a well-staged insinuation, nothing else," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said."It's a bold fake, and we've been speaking about that for a couple of days, but no one would listen to us."
