The US has cut off intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing official sources.
Two officials told the FT that Washington had frozen intelligence channels with Kyiv in a move that could seriously impede the ability of Ukraine's military to target Russian forces.
This decision comes after US President Donald Trump’s Monday announcement that he was suspending military aid deliveries to Ukraine and a contentious Friday meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Additionally, the US has formally blocked all allies from sharing US intelligence with Ukraine, though two officials told the Financial Times that several countries were likely to continue passing on relevant intelligence to Kyiv.
Keir Starmer refused to comment
A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer declined to comment on the report that the US had cut off intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, but said Britain's aim was to ensure Kyiv is left in the strongest possible position, Reuters reported.
"It remains a long-standing position not to comment on intelligence, but what I would say is we have been clear previously that we would do everything to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position, particularly around defense and security," the spokesperson said.
