The US did not allow the movement of Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov.
According to The Times, senior American officials told them not to attack Gerasimov.
A senior American official told The Times that they were told that it was too much.
According to an investigation by The New York Times, the US tried to stop the killing of a high-ranking Russian military official by the Ukrainians.
According to The Times, Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov was planning to travel to Russia's frontlines. The American officials decided to keep the information from Ukraine.
The New York Times reported that US officials began to realize that they had underestimated the strength of the Russian military.
One soldier complained of having a helmet from the 1940s, another asked how to switch his gun to fully automatic just before running into battle, and others were told they would never see combat.
The New York Times reported that a pro-Russian military commander said that nobody would stay alive. One weapon is going to kill you.
As months passed and poorly trained Russian soldiers continued to lose battles and territory to Ukrainian forces, Russia began to move its high-ranking generals to the front lines. Russian generals made a "deadly mistake" by positioning themselves near communications centers, which led to Ukrainian forces killing them.
When Gerasimov decided to travel to the front lines in April, US officials kept the information from Ukraine. The Times reported that senior American officials asked the Ukrainians to call off their assault on Gerasimov.
The official told The Times that they told them not to do it. We were like, that's too much.
The US sent a message too late for the Ukrainians to continue with the attack. Dozens of Russians died in the attack. Gerasimov did not get hit.
Russian generals visited the frontlines of the invasion less after the attack.
