The US has suspended intelligence sharing and access to satellite imagery with Ukraine, significantly impacting its defense capabilities against potential Russian airstrikes. This move follows the Trump administration's earlier decision to pause military aid after discussions with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Ukrainian legislators warn that the loss of crucial battlefield intelligence will leave Ukraine exposed to increased Russian aggression, hampering their ability to monitor troop movements and mount effective defensive or offensive strategies. Each of these elements is deemed vital for Ukraine's national security amid ongoing conflict.
The US pause on intelligence sharing and restrictions on Ukraine's access to crucial satellite imagery is expected to seriously impact the country's ability to defend against Russian missile attacks.
Being able to see shifts in the battle lines and buildups is crucial to mounting a proper defense. Intel and satellite imagery also enable deep offensive strikes.
