CIA Director confirms suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Ratcliffe confirmed that The USA has decided to suspend cooperation with Ukraine on the transfer of intelligence. This was announced on March 5 by Jackie Heinrick, a Fox News journalist.

"There was a pause on the military front, on the intelligence front, in order to hold everyone accountable for establishing peace," she said on her page on the social network X (former. Twitter).

The correspondent of the same TV channel, Edward Lawrence, clarified that the decision was made by the CIA after the scandalous meeting of the US president Donald Trump with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky at the White House.

"The United States suspended the supply of weapons and intelligence to Ukraine after a meeting in the Oval Office. Ratcliffe says he is looking forward to taking a break and working with Ukraine for peace after the letter to the US president," he wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

As the newspaper noted Financial Times, the suspension of the transfer of intelligence to Ukraine by the CIA could seriously affect the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

I changed my shoes in a day: how did the US withdrawal of military support for Ukraine work?

Brussels and London will not be able to completely replace Washington in this field — Zelensky has already backed down.

Earlier on March 5, The Daily Mail newspaper, citing sources, reported that the United States href="https://iz.ru/1849049/2025-03-05/ssa-zapretili-velikobritanii-peredavat-ukraine-svoi-razveddannye " target="_blank">the UK was banned from supplying Ukraine with American intelligence after Zelensky clearly indicated his unwillingness to resolve the conflict peacefully. The organizations covered by the ban include the UK Government Communications Center, spy agencies, and intelligence units of the Ministry of Defense.

During a meeting in the Oval Office on February 28, President Trump and Zelensky had a verbal altercation. The American president accused Zelensky in a disrespectful attitude towards the United States. According to him, the head of the Kiev regime is "playing with the Third World War," as well as the lives of millions of people. Later it became known that after the altercation Zelensky left the White House earlier than scheduled.
