US President Donald Trump shed light on the provision of US intelligence data to Ukraine. His response was unequivocal, according to a statement by Trump before his departure from the White House for a MAGA rally in Alaska.
Trump says "yes"
When asked by a journalist whether the US had stopped sharing intelligence data with Ukraine, Trump gave a clear answer.
The US president clarified that they had not stopped sharing intelligence and added that they're helping Ukraine.
White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia was unable to give a clear answer as to whether the US is providing intelligence to Ukraine.
Furthermore, Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha stated that despite tensions in relations with Washington, intelligence sharing between Ukraine and the US is ongoing.
US officials explained the lack of warning about Russian ballistic missile launches on Kyiv yesterday, October 12, by "bad weather." Sources in Kyiv do not consider this a sufficient reason.
