Welp, it looks like Zelenskyy is finding out the hard way that when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
And by that I mean when you disrespect the U.S. you lose our intelligence.
From the Financial Times:
The move follows the decision on Monday by the Trump administration to suspend military aid deliveries to Ukraine and comes after a dramatic breakdown in relations between the US president and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
US intelligence co-operation has been essential for Ukraine's ability to identify and strike Russian military targets.
Three officials familiar with the decision confirmed that Washington had frozen intelligence channels with Kyiv.
Terrible news for Ukraine, and yet another reason Zelenskyy should've taken the deal when he had the chance.
There is one point here that makes this story not all bad for Ukraine:
While the US has also formally blocked its allies from sharing US intelligence with Ukraine, two officials said that recipients with assets inside the country were likely to continue passing on relevant intelligence to Kyiv. But that would not apply to time-sensitive and high-value intelligence, such as that needed for Ukraine to conduct precision strikes on moveable Russian targets.
The US decision to ban its allies from passing intelligence to Ukraine was first reported by the Daily Mail.
Zelenskyy, you messed around.
And now you're finding out.
Let's make a deal, my man.
