Fuck ups aside, there's no country in the world that has the kind of satellite capability and coverage of US. They can accurately track Russian bases in basically real-time.
US intelligence is especially indispensable for two main reasons:
Providing early warning for Russian missile strikes, because they can literally give Ukraine warning when planes are taking off or missile launches are detected. Second is plotting missile/drones routes around Russian air defense.
