Minimal US aid for Ukraine: No weapons, only intelligence, media reports

According to the publication, Trump is likely to blame both Ukraine and Russia for failing to follow his directives, withdraw from active diplomacy, and halt US arms shipments to Kyiv. However, sources believe the American administration will not completely cut off support to Ukraine.

“US policymakers - among them a majority of Republicans - realize that there is too much for Washington to lose from a potential Ukrainian collapse. The United States can, and probably will, extend offers similar to previous support where it doesn’t cost Washington excessively,” the report says.

According to sources, Washington won’t cut off Ukraine’s access to critical satellite data that’s a game-changer on the battlefield.

Ukrainian forces rely heavily on coordinates provided by US intelligence for most of their operations, especially long-range strikes.

“Critically, this is one of the few pieces of technology that neither the Ukrainians nor their European allies can substitute. Without it, as Ukraine was for about a week in March, when the Trump administration was roughing up Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Kyiv would find itself at an ominous disadvantage. But this won’t happen, because continued Ukrainian access enables the United States to have a finger in the war rather than stand on the sidelines as a useless observer - and, since it’s already in place, costs very little,” the article noted.

US aid to Ukraine

After taking office, President Donald Trump halted military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

At the same time, he’s been threatening Russia with tough sanctions. A related bill has been introduced in Congress but hasn’t been acted on yet.

During a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump said he wants to continue supporting Ukraine. He also reiterated his desire for an end to the killing.
