WASHINGTON >> The Trump administration has paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine alongside a military aid freeze, officials said Wednesday, part of a pressure campaign to force its government to cooperate with the White House’s plans to end the country’s war with Russia.

A U.S. official said that military targeting information was no longer being shared with Ukraine. A senior Ukrainian official said that the pause would make it more difficult to strike Russian forces but that Ukraine’s military had access to other satellite imagery.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe and national security adviser Michael Waltz both confirmed the pause in intelligence support but suggested it could be short-lived if Ukraine quickly came back to the negotiating table.

Speaking on Fox Business, Ratcliffe applauded a statement Tuesday by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, which praised President Donald Trump and insisted that he support peace with Russia.

“President Zelenskyy put out a statement that said, ‘I am ready for peace, and I want President Donald Trump’s leadership to bring about that peace,’” Ratcliffe said. “And so I think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, I think will go away, and I think we’ll work shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine as we have, to push back on the aggression that’s there.”

Waltz told reporters at the White House that the United States had “taken a step back” and was “pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship.”

In addition to the targeting information, the pause also affected some intelligence about advance warning of drone and missile strikes that Russia has been carrying out against military and civilian targets, according to a person briefed on the pause.

“Everything that came from the Defense Department has stopped,” said Valeriy Kondratiuk, the former head of HUR, one of Ukraine’s intelligence services. “This mostly concerns the exchange of imagery. This isn’t critical because European companies have their own satellites, but not all these are focused on military dislocation and movements, which is important.”

The CIA has a sizable presence in the country, where it has been working alongside the Ukrainians to help with targeting.

Some of its officers have been deployed to Ukrainian bases, where they review lists of potential Russian targets that the Ukrainians are preparing to strike, comparing the information that the Ukrainians have with U.S. intelligence.

The CIA has also helped the Ukrainians build secret signals-intelligence collection bases, which the Ukrainians use to intercept Russian communications, reducing their dependence on the United States for intelligence.

A senior Trump administration official said the initial plan was to pause military and intelligence sharing for a week or two as part of the campaign to pressure Zelenskyy.
