Summary
Trump has cut off U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine and paused military shipments, leaving civilians vulnerable to Russian attacks.
His team claims it’s a negotiating tactic to push Zelenskyy toward peace, but the move has shocked military experts and drawn outrage in Kyiv.
Ukrainians call it “blackmail” and a “pathetic” attempt to force submission.
Without U.S. intel, Ukraine will struggle to stop Russian strikes on civilians, raising concerns among allies about America’s reliability. Analysts warn Russia will exploit this weakness.
Ukraine definitely should NOT sign any mineral deal with the US at present, unless it includes long term US commitment to military and intelligence support.
any deal is unlikely to work out any better than the one made when they denuclearized
American “commitment” to anything is worthless now more than ever. Like giving cash loans to a bombed out drug addict you can only expect pain by penning deals with us.
