US continues to share some intelligence with Ukraine - CNN

Ukrinform
The United States continues to share intelligence with Ukraine that can help the Ukrainian military defend itself, but has “curtailed” the exchange of any data that the Ukrainian army could use for an offensive.

According to Ukrinform, CNN reported this with reference to two American military officials.

According to the unnamed sources, the United States does not want to be seen as actively helping Ukraine strike at Russia, which is why the supply of military aid to Kyiv was suspended earlier this week.

However, Washington also has no plans to withhold information that could help Ukraine defend itself, the officials said.

CNN's interlocutors added that billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink satellite system, which the Ukrainian military relies on, is still operating in Ukraine.

As reported, CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that the United States had suspended intelligence support along with arms supplies to Ukraine, but at the same time confirmed Washington's intention to work with the Ukrainian side to lift the restrictions.

The US Congressional Intelligence Committee believes that the suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine is unacceptable and called for an immediate end to the pause.

Former CIA Director John Brennan accused US President Donald Trump of blackmailing Ukraine by suspending intelligence sharing between Washington and Kyiv.
