The U.S. has prohibited the UK from sharing American intelligence with Ukraine, according to a report from the Daily Mail on Tuesday. Earlier reports from several Western media outlets indicated that the U.S. had halted all military aid to Kyiv, following a public disagreement between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Zelensky.
The British tabloid noted that all UK intelligence agencies and military bodies “received an order expressly forbidding the sharing of US-generated intelligence” identified as ‘Rel UKR’ – meaning ‘Releasable to Ukraine’. This action is expected to further weaken Ukraine's capacity to combat Russia.
The suspension reportedly lacks a specific timeframe and is anticipated to impact British entities such as the Government Communications Headquarters and the Ministry of Defense. UK military intelligence expert Phil Ingram remarked to the Daily Mail that the U.S. will “tightly control distribution of its intelligence to Ukraine” through its own agencies operating in Kyiv.
On Wednesday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed reports that Washington had ceased direct intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
The decision comes in the wake of reports from several Western outlets that Trump had mandated a halt on U.S. military aid shipments to Ukraine, encompassing all packages outside the country, including those pledged by former President Joe Biden’s administration.
This development followed a tense meeting between Trump and Zelensky on Friday, during which Trump accused the Ukrainian leader of “disrespecting” America and of not being interested in negotiating peace with Russia. An unnamed official cited by CNN suggested that the aid freeze would continue until Trump is convinced that Zelensky is genuinely committed to peace talks.
In late February, Reuters reported that Elon Musk’s SpaceX could potentially restrict Ukraine’s access to vital Starlink internet satellite systems unless Kyiv signs a deal allowing the U.S. to exploit its natural resources. The agreement faced uncertainty following the tense discussions between Trump and Zelensky. Musk, however, characterized the report as “false.”
In response to the potential U.S. suspension of aid to Kyiv, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that it would “probably be the best contribution to the cause of peace.”
