Stopping the supply of military equipment, and so on to Jasionka, is irrelevant. Ukraine is loaded with equipment and ammunition, like good groats, as Kazimierz Pawlak utilized to say in the movie "Sami Swoi". That's adequate for six months of intense fighting with the Russians, and if they save it for a year.
What, though, does it affect? "Stopping the exchange of intelligence". The most crucial intelligence provided by the US to Ukraine, due to the fact that it is not the another way round, is collected utilizing satellite images, aircraft flights and strategical spy drones and reconnaissance, performed along the borders of Russia and space over Russia.
This information was utilized by Ukrainian Armed Forces in carrying out strategically crucial tasks specified as:
– Attacks on Russian military facilities both in the back of areas occupied by the Russian army (command points, communications stations, weapons and ammunition warehouses, anti-aircraft defence positions) and in the interior of the Russian Federation (arsens, refineries, chemical plants, oil and fuel retention facilities, airports, strategical radio station, gas pipelines, power plants, critical infrastructure elements). They besides provided nonsubjective monitoring and verification of the results of these attacks.
– Combating large-scale Russian rocket attacks – US satellites monitored preparations for Further Aviation – long-range aviation for flights and transmitted information to Ukraine almost all minute. They informed about the launch positions of the ballistic rocket launchers and reported the launch of the missiles, the direction of flight and the likely targets. Finally, it was the American satellite reconnaissance that allowed us to detect the positions of Black Sea Fleet ships and attack them with maneuvering and ballistic missiles.
– It is by utilizing U.S. satellite reconnaissance data that Ukrainians find the positions of the Russian OPL group and the positions of anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems, which allows to program a long-range drone flight so that the proverbial "variant" flies out of scope as not radars are at least anti-aircraft rockets.
– Even the temporary deprivation of Ukrainians of this kind of information (if they actually stopped giving them to Ukraine) will importantly affect the effectiveness of Ukrainians' attacks on Russia and will besides importantly weaken their preparations.
CIA manager John Ratcliffe (in a photograph with J.D. Vance), he said that the intelligence transmission of Ukraine had been stopped to force the parties to return to negotiations. Ratcliffe suggested that the interruption in data sharing was limited in scope and was temporary, so it could be interrupted shortly and messages would flow back to Kiev. "President Trump asked for a break. As I said, president Trump is the president of peace, under his regulation there has never been a war, he wants to end wars that are already ongoing."
"President Trump had a serious dilemma whether president Zelenski was active in the peace process, and said, "Let's halt for a moment, I want to give you an chance to think about it." “I think, therefore, that in the military and intelligence sphere, the break that took place will disappear, and I think we will work side by side with Ukraine, as we must to counter the aggression that takes place there, but [it was necessary] to make better conditions for moving peace negotiations forward.”
The suspension of the exchange of intelligence was besides confirmed by the National safety Advisor Mike Waltzwho stated that the administration "considers all aspects" of intelligence cooperation with Ukraine. A high-ranking authoritative of the U.S. Defence Ministry announced that the military had already begun to restrict reconnaissance flights close Ukraine.
What will happen next, we will see, but the apparent nervousness on the side of the Ukrainian authorities headed by president Zelenski and the "grey eminence" on Bankowa Mikhail Podolak indicate that president Trump will shortly accomplish what he intends and Kiev will "break".
