The United States has significantly curtailed its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, affecting vital information used to counter Russian aggression. This shift in policy coincides with President Trump's decision to halt weapon deliveries aimed at pushing Ukrainian President Zelensky to negotiate peace with Russia. CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed this pause, indicating it would end when Ukraine demonstrates a commitment to peace. This represents a stark departure from the Biden administration's approach that had established robust intelligence sharing systems with Ukraine, highlighting geopolitical shifts and ongoing military dynamics in the region.
The United States has paused major portions of its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, squeezing the flow of vital information that Kyiv has used to repel invading Russian forces.
The pause in intelligence sharing comes amid a decision early this week by President Donald Trump to freeze future deliveries of weapons to Ukraine, aiming to pressure Zelensky into negotiations.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the latest move, stating the pauses would 'go away' once it was clear Zelensky was committed to peace.
Officials stated the move marks a major reversal from the Biden administration's previous approach, which had facilitated unprecedented intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
