On January 18, 2026, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Center for Combating Disinformation (CCP) issued a statement refuting the manipulations that arose around the plot of the French TV channel LCI. It was allegedly said there that the Ukrainian special services stopped sharing intelligence with the Americans after the quarrel between Zelenskyi and Trump due to leaks of information to Moscow.
As LB.ua sources in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine told LB.ua, Russian propagandists not only used the conspiratorial statements of individual experts on foreign broadcasts, but also significantly “twisted” them, creating a fake about the transmission of “distorted data” to Ukraine, which allegedly helped Russia. Official Kyiv declares that such intrusions are aimed at disrupting negotiation processes and diplomatic efforts of Ukrainian delegations currently abroad.
Ukrainian intelligence emphasizes that cooperation with the US and other Western partners continues as usual on the basis of professionalism. Statements about the “inevitable breakdown” of relations between Kyiv and Washington in the security sphere are groundless and beneficial only to Moscow to weaken Ukraine’s position at the negotiating table. Despite certain changes in the share of intelligence, which Emmanuel Macron mentioned (in particular, the growth of the role of France to 66%), communication channels with American special services remain open and active.
The Central Security Service of the National Security Council calls on citizens to be alert to “conspiracy rumors” that do not contain any facts or evidence. Russian botfarms are currently massively spreading these theses on the X network and Telegram channels, trying to create the illusion of isolating Ukraine from its main allies. At the same time, Ukraine remains committed to achieving a just peace and continues to use all available intelligence capabilities of its partners to protect territories and prepare for further offensive operations, which General Sirskyi previously mentioned.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said that over the past year, the country provided Ukraine with about two-thirds of all intelligence information, which previously played a predominant role United States .
