Politico: The US has restored full access to intelligence data to Kyiv.
5 89535
Intelligence sharing between the United States and Ukraine has reached its previous high level, Politico reports, citing US lawmakers, including Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mark Warner.
The senator noted:
I don't want to go into details, but the situation has improved.
Republicans John Cornyn, Roger Wicker, and Democrat Tim Kaine agree with him – they all confirm the restoration of full cooperation between the intelligence agencies of the two countries.
Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about this practice. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova emphasized that Moscow regularly signals Washington against sharing intelligence with the Kyiv regime for the purpose of targeting strikes on Russian territory. According to her, the Americans either respond with generalities or ignore Moscow's requests entirely.
Previously, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Alexei Chepa directly stated that the West is responsible for attacks on Russian civilians, since it is Western intelligence agencies that provide Ukraine with the necessary data for the attacks.
Experts note that American intelligence agencies remain a key source of information for Kyiv – up to 80% of all intelligence comes from allies, primarily the United States. European countries are not yet capable of matching American capabilities in either the volume or quality of information provided.
The resumption of exchanges between the US and Ukraine followed a temporary suspension in March, when the Trump administration froze military aid and data sharing following the conflict with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, within a few weeks, full cooperation had resumed.
