The US has cut off intelligence-sharing with Kyiv in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military’s ability to target Russian forces, according to officials familiar with the matter.

The move follows the decision on Monday by the Trump administration to suspend military aid deliveries toUkraine and comes after a dramatic breakdown in relations between the US president and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

US intelligence co-operation has been essential for Ukraine’s ability to identify and strike Russian military targets.

Three officials familiar with the decision confirmed that Washington had frozen intelligence channels with Kyiv.

This is a developing story

    Gutting US sanctions enforcement of Russian oligarchs

    Cutting off US military aid to Ukraine

    Lifting US sanctions on Russia

    Cutting US intelligence sharing to Ukraine

    Safe to say these are not measured responses meant to bring a just peace in Ukraine, only Putin’s version of “peace” by which Ukraine unconditionally surrenders

    There is no doubt that the US president is a foreign agent of Russia

    Russia played the long game and now owns the USA. And thanks to that, it threatens all of Europe and Canada.

    I don’t think that Europe has equivalent capabilities here. Kofman’s talked about how intelligence sharing was probably the most-critical form of support the US has provided Ukraine with.

      EU and the European NATO countries should seek to build up these capabilities quickly, while also severing ties with US intelligence in all aspects. Also Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand need to disengage from the 5 eyes before all their secrets are fully accessible to Russia.

      The US still share these intelligence reports with NATO countries, allowing for the continuation of these reports, just with a middle man. If I have understood it correctly.

    Understandable tbh, they clearly don’t have a lot of intelligence to share.

    I’m born and raised in Europe but my father is American (he moved here a long time ago sick of the US) and I inherited the citizenship. Every single day I feel more and more ashamed of it, but I the process to lose it is cumbersome and expensive. The US was never a bastion of goodwill, not at all… but I’d never imagined that this is the path the country is taking at such a horrendous speed

      That’s like reverse nationalism, both being silly. Why would anyone be ashamed of something that wasn’t their decision? Chin up and live your life mate!
