Trump denies reports intel sharing with Ukraine allegedly been suspended
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that reports of an alleged halt to the exchange of intelligence with Ukraine are untrue.
U.S. President Donald Trump refuted claims that the exchange of intelligence with Ukraine had allegedly been suspended. During a press conference in Alaska on Tuesday, when asked if the U.S. had stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine, Trump firmly replied, "No, we haven't. We are helping them, and we are sharing intel. We want the war to end."
Earlier reports from various media outlets had suggested that the Trump administration had warned Ukraine and its European allies that the U.S. might suspend intelligence sharing and stop purchasing American weapons under the PURL program if Kyiv continued to carry out deep strikes on Russian oil refineries and energy facilities.
On Monday evening, Russia carried out a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he had not received any warning from any partners. Later on Tuesday, the new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia, when questioned by reporters, said, "I'll have to get back to you on that."
