The United States has decided to pause intelligence sharing with Ukraine, a move confirmed by US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz on Wednesday. This decision comes as part of a broader review of the relationship between the two countries by the Trump administration.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the US has been sharing intelligence with the country to support its defense efforts. However, this collaboration has now been put on hold as the US reevaluates its approach to the situation.
The pause in intelligence sharing follows a recent deterioration in relations between the US and Ukraine, including a breakdown in communication during a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office last week. This incident led to the US halting military aid to Ukraine on Monday.
The decision to pause intelligence sharing underscores the complex and evolving dynamics of the international relationships involved in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. As both countries continue to navigate these challenges, the impact of the US’s review of its relationship with Ukraine remains to be seen.
