Donald Trump has halted UK-US intelligence sharing with Ukraine, severely limiting Ukraine's defense capabilities as American military aid is also suspended. UK intelligence agencies are directed not to share crucial 'Rel UKR' intelligence, leading to concerns over Ukraine’s position amidst ongoing conflict with Russia. A senior Ukrainian official warns that within 2-3 months, the situation will become dire, potentially leading to strategic withdrawals. Experts anticipate that control over intelligence will tighten further, greatly affecting Ukraine's ability to respond effectively to Russian advances.
We have two to three months. After that, the position will be very difficult for us, this will allow Russia to exploit Ukraine's weak position.
The United States's instruction to stop allies sharing US-derived intelligence with Ukraine is what I would expect.
The US will tightly control distribution of its intelligence to Ukraine through agencies based in Kyiv.
It will not be a total collapse, but we will be forced to withdraw from some areas more quickly.
