On Thursday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said the US does not provide intelligence on the location of Russian military leaders on the battlefield or participate in Ukraine's targeting decisions. 

"We do not provide intelligence on the location of senior military leaders on the battlefield or participate in the targeting decisions of the Ukrainian military," Kirby told a press briefing. "Ukrainians have, quite frankly, a lot more information than we do. This is their country, their territory, and they have capable intelligence collection abilities of their own."

On Wednesday, the New York Times said the US provided Ukraine with intelligence that led to the murder of numerous Russian generals.

Last week, it was reported that the US is offering $10 million for information, including their identity and location, on Russian intelligence officers, according to a release by the US Department of State.

“The US Department of State’s Rewards for Justice program, which is administered by the Diplomatic Security Service, is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to the identification or location of any person who, while acting at the direction or under the control of a foreign government, participates in malicious cyber activities against US critical infrastructure in violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,” the release said.

Washington is currently looking for information on six Russian nationals who have taken part in a "criminal conspiracy affecting US critical infrastructure," according to the release.

The release revealed the names of the "wanted" personnel: Yuriy Sergeyevich Andrienko, Sergey Vladimirovich Detistov, Pavel Valeryevich Frolov, Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev, Artem Valeryevich Ochichenko, and Petr Nikolayevich Pliskin.
