CIA director says US has paused sharing intelligence with Ukraine


The confirmation of the pause on intelligence sharing follows a heated exchange between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents

CIA director John Ratcliffe has confirmed the Trump administration has paused its intelligence sharing operation with Ukraine, following a heated exchange between the two countries’ leaders on Friday. In response to a question during an interview with Fox’s Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday, Ratcliffe did not provide further details about the decision, but said President Trump had asked for a “pause” in sending weapons shipments and intelligence to Ukraine. The meeting ended abruptly before the leaders could go ahead with the planned signing of a minerals deal in exchange for U.S. commitments to Ukraine’s financial security.
