CIA confirms suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine | 5 March 2025 | Washington has brought all intelligence sharing with Ukraine to a halt, CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed to Fox Business on Wednesday. The development came just a day after several American media outlets reported that the U.S. had suspended military assistance, including both the purchase of new weapons and shipments already in progress. When asked whether the U.S. had "cut off" its cooperation with Ukraine, Ratcliffe said that U.S. President Donald Trump had "asked for a pause" to see if Kiev was ready to work toward resolving the conflict with Russia. "President Trump had a real question whether...Zelensky was committed to a peace process," Ratcliffe said, claiming that the halt to assistance and information sharing contributed to Zelensky publicly stating that he was "ready for peace."
