Ukrainian HIMARS much less effective without US intelligence
The United States has severed a critical intelligence channel that provided Ukraine with targeting data for HIMARS artillery systems, according to a report by The Economist journalist Oliver Carroll.
In a Twitter post on March 5, Carroll also said that the United States no longer alerts Ukraine about incoming major Russian attacks.
“Ukraine also isn’t receiving real-time information for long-range strikes,” he added.
“Trump wanted a thank you,” a source told Carroll, “We will be writing it on graves of dead Ukrainians.”
In an earlier report, Sky News cited a Ukrainian source stating that the United States has ceased all sharing intelligence with Ukraine, including data that could be used for attacks on Russian territory.
Later, U.S. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz confirmed the information regarding the intelligence sharing. According to him, the United States has "taken a step back" and the administration is "reviewing all aspects" of its intelligence relationship with Ukraine.
On March 3, U.S. President Donald Trump cut all military aid to Kyiv.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
