What led to the stop of the transfer of American intelligence to Ukraine

The US decision to suspend the exchange of intelligence information with Ukraine helped Russian promotion at the front and led to large losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Time writes with reference to officials and the military. According to one of the interlocutors, "hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers" died. “This really gives an advantage to the enemy at the front,” says one of the Ukrainian military.

The suspension of intelligence exchange became known on March 5 - this was reported by Financial Times and Sky News with reference to sources. Later, the data transfer stop was confirmed by the director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, calling it a “pause” and adding that it will “disappear” when an agreement on the world that US President Donald Trump is striving for. Also, Mike Walz, adviser to Trump for National Security, spoke about the termination of the transmission of intelligence, who said that the United States had "taken a step back" and "suspended and revised all aspects of these relations."

Washington’s decision struck the most serious blow for the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region. Over the past week, the Russian army has achieved in this direction of “serious advance”. According to The Telegraph, ten thousand Ukrainian soldiers were threatened by the encirclement after the Russian troops broke through the front line and advanced along the key supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Time source surrounded by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky confirmed that from the loss of access to the American intelligence, parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located in the Kursk region, were most affected. In addition, the Ukrainian military lost the opportunity to detect the approach of Russian fighters when they take off from the territory of Russia.

The loss of intelligence also caused damage to Ukraine’s ability to strike targets in Russia, Time writes. According to the interlocutors of the publication, Ukraine used to have access to data from American satellites, which allowed the targets in Russia far beyond the front line. Now, “these opportunities are paralyzed”, including after the American company Maxar Technologies has disconnected Ukraine access to its satellite pictures.

A source close to the General Staff of Ukraine said that after the United States limited access to commercial satellite pictures, a group of Western specialists left the country who helped to accept and process reconnaissance data from satellites.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Christina (Moscow). From the very beginning I was against the war. Moreover, it was a huge fear, because in Ukraine I have relatives for whom we are worried daily. This is a terrible crime of the Putin team, regime and all directly involved. It is scary and unbearably bad. But of course, I can’t talk about fear as a person who is safe.

But why this is the preface ... Honestly, when the conversation comes about guilt and responsibility - I cannot read letters of people who accuse themselves, all Russians and so on. This is literally vile. I was born under Putin, I (I'm afraid) I will die under Putin. And now? As a Russian, I need to suffer for crimes committed by others? Someone will say: "selfish." I will answer that yes, first of all, I think about myself and my comfort. I want to be able to travel around the world, not fearing that the “especially sympathetic” will try to harm me if they see a red passport. I want to get to places that, due to the most severe Russophobia, are closed on the basis of belonging to the country. Pretty unpleasant.

Someone will say: you had to do something. What? Go to jail for the rally? To leave the country when you have neither money nor work in another state? And at the same time, everyone is crushing and crushing you that you are guilty, you are bad. Is it normal? As if not.

The war is terrible, but losing the possibilities of a free interesting life is also not ice. And even now I am trying to make excuses that I am not a bad, but the information field around says the opposite. Perhaps this is a sufficient “collective punishment” for an imperfect crime.
