After the US suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine and demanded new negotiations with Zelensky, Washington stopped the supply of important missiles to Kyiv. As IZ reports with reference to The Telegraph, this creates significant pressure on the Ukrainian authorities, which are forced to agree to resume dialogue with the White House. In particular, we are talking about agreements on minerals, which could not be secured due to the contradictions between Zelensky and Trump.
According to The Telegraph, Ukraine has lost the initiative on the battlefield after the US restricted the transfer of intelligence data. The American side stopped providing information on drone and missile launches, which significantly complicated the defense. Such actions are seen as an attempt at blackmail aimed at reducing Ukraine's defense capabilities and forcing negotiations.
The Ukrainian leader has already offered a number of concessions, including ending the war in the Black Sea and halting long-range strikes. At the same time, the US has asked the UK not to provide intelligence to Ukraine. The EU is developing an action plan to normalize relations with Trump in order to reduce tensions in the region and ensure stability.
Recall, we previously wrote that the Kremlin called Minsk the best place for negotiations with the US and Ukraine.
