The US decision to restrict intelligence assistance to Ukraine will seriously undermine Kyivs ability to defend itself against Russia, but it will not spell the end of Ukraines war efforts, officials and analysts have said.
Washington announced on March 5 that it was placing limitations on intelligence sharing with Ukraine, a move that followed a pause in US military assistance to Kyiv.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe said the new restrictions on intelligence sharing were rooted in US President Donald Trump's concerns over his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy's commitment to peace after a disastrous meeting between the two leaders in the Oval Office last week.
