Following the decision of the United States, to suspend the exchange of intelligence with Ukraine, the Russian troops can strengthen the strikes of drones and missiles on the Ukrainian rear. Sources in the Armed Forces confirmed that 80% of information, mainly from the United States, received from the Union countries.
About it reports Politico.
As of Wednesday, March 5, the Armed Forces still received some intelligence information from the partners of Kiev, confirmed by the interlocutor of the publication among servicemen.
“This decision will inevitably be a huge rollback for Ukrainians, I do not think there is a way to deny it,” said Neil Barnett, CEO of ISTOK Associates Limited, London consulting intelligence company.
“The British will try to fill the gap. We have our posts at the Air Force Air Force, which is sovereign, we fly RIVet Joint in the area. But obviously, we do not have all the opportunities that Americans have, and there will be some things that just cannot be replaced, ”he added.
At the same time, Ukraine has become less dependent on US weapons systems than it was before. Up to 40 percent of weapons are produced in Ukraine, but as before, our country rests in the United States on intelligence, long -range weapons and air defense.
The pause in the exchange of weapons and intelligence can affect Ukraine’s efforts to achieve success on the battlefield after Kiev has started counter -attacks in the Donbass and recent attacks on Russian oil and gas processing plants.
“Every day, Ukrainian families rely on timely, accurate intelligence, to protect their lives and the lives of their children from merciless Russian missile and unmanned attacks. This critical information is not just strategic support – the difference between life and death that gives civilians precious minutes to hide underground, ”said President of the World Congress of Ukrainians Paul Grod on Wednesday.
“We see that the exchange of intelligence, long -range blows, AV ammunition is critically needed, and US support is crucial. At this stage, no one else can be replaced, ”said Geddrimas Eglinskas, chairman of the National Security and Defense Committee in the Lithuanian Parliament and a former NATO official.
Recall that the United States stopped providing Ukraine with not only intelligence for blows deep into the territory of the Russian Federation, but also any other information.
Previously, the same source, aware of the situation, stated that the termination of the exchange was “selective”. It allegedly concerned only data that could be used by the Armed Forces for strikes in the Russian Federation.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has left a ban on the supply of weapons to Ukraine. In addition, the “pause” will leave other great help.
