Trump: US military intel no longer to be shared with Kiev by Starmer’s UK.
THE GATEWAY PUNDIT | Published March 5, 2025
One Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky met with Democrats and Rinos and decided to engage in a confrontation with US President Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office in front of dozens of journalists, he was told by Trump: ‘Your troubles are just getting started’.
And so it happened, that the US ceased all military aid to Kiev, guaranteeing that it will have no chance to stabilize the 600-mile-long frontline and its crumbling defenses.
But that was hardly all of it, as it arises now a Daily Mail report saying that the US has also banned Britain and all other allies from sharing intelligence from Washington with Ukraine.
Daily Mail reported:
“But on top of missiles and ammunition, all UK intelligence agencies and military outlets also received an order expressly forbidding the sharing of US-generated intelligence, previously known as ‘Rel UKR’ – short for Releasable to Ukraine’.”
The UK, Australia and New Zealand – among others – have been sharing such vital information with Ukraine, but now the ban affects UK’s GCHQ, as well as the spy agencies and intelligence branches of the Ministry of Defense.
“Last night, UK military intelligence expert Phil Ingram told the Mail: ‘The United States’s instruction to stop allies sharing US-derived intelligence with Ukraine is what I would expect’.
‘The US’s intelligence partners, including Britain, have had their authority to pass on intelligence revoked. The US will tightly control distribution of its intelligence to Ukraine through agencies based in Kiev’.”

This comes after confirmation that the US paused all military aid to Ukraine.
Senior Ukrainian official told the Financial Times that Kiev’s forces have can sustain the fight for two to three months, after which ‘it will be forced to withdraw from some areas more quickly’.
UPDATE: : CIA Director John Ratcliffe has now confirmed that there is a “pause on the military front, on the intelligence front”, as reported by a Fox News correspondent.
The suspension of the transfer of US intelligence to Ukraine is “selective” in nature, but will deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of data that would allow it to strike deep into Russia, Sky News reports.

THE KYIV INDEPENDENT | Published March 5, 2025
The U.S. has halted intelligence sharing with Kyiv, threatening Ukraine’s ability to strike Russian targets amid the full-scale war, CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed to Fox Business on March 5.
“Trump had a real question about whether President (Volodymyr) Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said let’s pause,” Ratcliffe said.
The Financial Times earlier reported on March 5, citing undisclosed sources, that the U.S. had halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
The move follows Washington’s decision to freeze all military aid supplies to Ukraine following a public spat between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump. The decision was likely intended to put pressure on Zelensky in peace talks.
Zelensky later issued a statement on March 4 in which he called the Oval Office clash “regrettable” and affirmed commitment to work toward peace under Trump’s leadership.
The U.S. president praised Zelensky’s statement in his address to Congress but made no direct comment on releasing military aid.
“I think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, I think will go away,” Ratcliffe added.
There had been conflicting claims as to whether the aid freeze also concerned intelligence sharing, a crucial capability that allows Ukraine to strike Russian targets and track military movement.
Citing an undisclosed Ukrainian official, Bloomberg originally disputed the Financial Times’ article, claiming that intelligence sharing is ongoing. The British tabloid Daily Mail previously reported that the U.S. banned the U.K. from sharing Washington-obtained intelligence with Kyiv.
Two officials told the FT that while Washington blocked allies from sharing U.S. intelligence with Ukraine, “recipients with assets inside the country” are likely to continue passing certain information to Ukraine.
The restrictions will nevertheless hamper time-sensitive intelligence crucial for conducting precision strikes against moveable Russian targets, according to the outlet. Sky News supported this claim, reporting that the restrictions are “selective” and are aimed at Ukraine’s ability to launch strikes.
Since then, the U.S. media has reported that the aid freeze remains in place, and that it is unclear whether Zelensky’s statement that Oval Office clash was “regrettable” was sufficient to lift the freeze.
The Oval Office spat on Feb. 28, after which the U.S. leaders berated Zelensky as “ungrateful” and not “ready for peace,” derailed the signing of a much-anticipated natural resources agreement between the two countries.
Ukraine’s leader reaffirmed his readiness to sign the deal in his statement on March 4, but CBS News reported that parameters are still unclear as Trump seeks better terms.
