Washington has “just about” ended the freeze on intelligence sharing with Kyiv, President Donald Trump said on Sunday, according to Reuters and Bloomberg.
“We just about have,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One when asked whether he would lift the pause on intelligence exchanges, Reuters reported.
Trump said he wanted to do “anything we can to get Ukraine serious about getting something done.” He added that he expected “good results” from talks between American and Ukrainian delegations set to take place in Saudi Arabia later this week. “I think we’re going to make a lot of progress I believe this week,” he said.
Washington’s suspension of intelligence sharing with Kyiv was first reported on March 5 by The Financial Times and Sky News. CIA Director John Ratcliffe later confirmed the halt, calling it a “pause” that would “go away” once progress was made toward a peace agreement Trump was pursuing.
