US cuts off intelligence sharing with Ukraine, FT reports

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. has cut off intelligence-sharing with Kyiv in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military’s ability to target Russian forces, Britain’s Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing officials familiar with the matter.

However, an official in Kyiv told Bloomberg News that Ukraine was continuing to receive intelligence from the United States, according to a post on X by Bloomberg News reporter Annmarie Hordern.

The FT had said two officials confirmed that Washington had frozen intelligence channels with Kyiv.

President Donald Trump’s administration was still sharing intelligence on Russia and Ukraine with its closest allies, including Britain, the FT added, citing one official.
