Washington reduced the exchange of intelligence with Ukraine, which could be used to task for Russian purposes. At the same time, according to CNN, the United States continues to transmit data that helps Kiev to defend its positions and infrastructure.
US military officials explained to reporters that reducing the exchange of information is associated with the unwillingness of the United States to take an active part in hostilities against Russia.
"Washington does not want it to be considered a state that directly helps Ukraine to strike in the Russian Federation," the sources in military circles said.
At the same time, the United States continues to transmit critically important data to protect the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For example, Starlink, SpaceX Satellite Internet Service Ilona Mask, remains active and provides communication of the Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield.
According to CNN, US President Donald Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with Russia's actions, which, despite the Washington's diplomatic efforts, continues to strike massive blows in Ukrainian cities.
Trump even threatened the Kremlin with new sanctions if the attacks do not stop. However, his administration clearly makes it clear that the United States is trying to avoid escalation of the conflict and want Kiev to take real steps to negotiate combat.
Reducing intelligence exchange has become part of a broader strategy for Trump's administration. The decision was made on the background of pauses in military assistance to Ukraine, which the White House introduced earlier.
National Security Advisor Mike Voltz and CIA Director John Retcliffe noted that restrictions can be temporary - it will all depend on whether Ukraine will go to negotiation with Russia.
At the same time, the disconnection of some of the US intelligence may complicate the work of the Ukrainian army, in particular in planning counter -offensive operations and predicting Russian missile strikes and drones.
It is obvious that Washington prepares a new strategy on Ukraine, which implies pressure on Kiev in order to intensify the negotiation process. However, the question remains: is Trump ready to restore the full exchange of intelligence if Ukraine does not agree to its terms?
The US decision to reduce the flow of critical data to Ukraine indicates serious changes in the white house, which can have long -term consequences for war.
