Financial Times:

The US has cut off intelligence sharing with Kyiv in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military’s ability to target Russian forces.

The step follows the decision on Monday by Donald Trump’s administration to suspend military aid deliveries to Ukraine and comes after a dramatic breakdown in relations between the US president and Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

US intelligence co-operation has been essential for Ukraine’s ability to identify and strike Russian military targets.

Putin has Trump completely in his pocket.


TRUMP DROPS CYBER SECURITY FOR RUSSIA WHILE PUTIN SAYS COUNTRIES NOW ALIGNED

In a significant policy shift, President Trump has publicly and privately indicated that he no longer views Russia as a major cyber threat to U.S. national security and critical infrastructure. This change contradicts years of warnings from intelligence officials and has raised concerns among cybersecurity experts, who fear that the United States may be leaving itself vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks amid escalating global tensions.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Sunday ordered U.S. Cyber Command to cease all offensive cyber operations against Russia. Critics argue that this policy reversal is influenced by the administration’s warming relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, as Trump seeks to realign U.S. foreign policy in a manner that increasingly aligns with Moscow’s interests.

“Russia and China are our biggest adversaries. With all the cuts being made to different agencies, a lot of cybersecurity personnel have been fired. Our systems are not going to be protected, and our adversaries know this.” Putin is on the inside now.”

Time to learn Russian now.
