Donald Trump has now banned UK from sharing any US military intelligence with Ukraine

The US has banned Britain from sharing intelligence from Washington with Ukraine, according to reports. Donald Trump, 78, is said to have made the move as part of the US' alarming withdrawal of support for Volodymyr Zelensky. There are already concerns Ukraine could run out of weapons in as little as two to three months' time following Mr Trump's decision to freeze American military aid to Kyiv.

And now reports claim all UK intelligence agencies and military outlets have received an order expressly forbidding the sharing of US-generated intelligence, previously known as "Rel UKR" - short for Releasable to Ukraine.

It is another huge blow for Mr Zelensky, 47, as the UK and other Western security partners such as Australia and New Zealand have shared such knowledge with Ukraine since the conflict began three years ago. As Russia's onslaught continues, it is feared the ban will further hamper Ukraine's chances to defend itself.

The ban affects the likes of the UK's GCHQ, the spy agencies and intelligence branches of the Ministry of Defence. Phil Ingram, a UK military intelligence expert, told the Daily Mail: "The United States's instruction to stop allies sharing US-derived intelligence with Ukraine is what I would expect. The US's intelligence partners, including Britain, have had their authority to pass on intelligence revoked. The US will tightly control distribution of its intelligence to Ukraine through agencies based in Kyiv."

1. What a fuck up dumbshit...................

ugh.

If anything happens abroad and at home harming USA citizens the fault falls directly on the Republican party.

[Lonestarblue]

2. "The US will tightly control distribution of its intelligence to Ukraine through agencies based in Kyiv."

Ukraine will not be able to trust any US intelligence now because it will be misleading and aimed at helping Russia and harming Ukraine. If European leaders want to protect Ukraine, they should seriously consider bringing it into NATO now.

3. One and only one reason to do this: benefit Vlad the Impaler. . . . . nt

[Joinfortmill]

4. I doubt they follow this so called command/demand.

[Raven123]

6. Same here.

[LymphocyteLover]

10. Seriously. My thought too. That mother fucker can't control them.

[Cha]

44. MY First Thought.. How can the US ban the UK from

Doing Anything?!

TY

[SupportSanity]

5. Setting up Ukraine for failure. This as Zelenskyy wants to come back and beg for US help.

Ukraine had been using US based intelligence to track Russian troop movements.

This means Russian will start stepping up its attacks and sending in more troops.

Awful!!!

[SorellaLaBefana]

7. It would seem more reasonable for UK (and others) to quit sharing Intel with US

since by doing so there seems a high probability that it is being shared with Russia

[yardwork]

15. I assume that reasonable democratic leaders are not sharing intel with Trump.

If they are, it's likely fake.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Hope these countries ignore the moron.

[Emrys]

9. OK, then the UK should kick the US spy bases out of its territory

Since Trump is a compromised channel and has a lackadaisical attitude to intelligence security, to say the least, we shouldn't be sharing Five Eyes data with the US now anyway.

Unfortunately, Starmer is likely to be lily-livered in his response.

If recent events are any guide, the situation's probably changing too fast to track, but this was Sky News' Security and Defence Editor on Twitter a few minutes ago:

@haynesdeborah

BREAKING: The US has stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine that could be used to launch attacks inside Russia, a Ukrainian source has told Sky News.

But the source said that American intelligence-sharing has not halted completely.

The source described the move as “selective”, indicating that this meant US intelligence would still be shared with Ukraine that could be used to attack Russian forces on Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory.

Asked whether it is correct that the US has stopped sharing intelligence, the source said: “Unfortunately, yes, but not completely. It is selective. On the possibility of damage on the territory of the Russian Federation”

The move is another blow for Kyiv after Donald Trump decided to pause all military aid to Ukraine following a bust-up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House.

11. England is worse than I suspect if they cooperate.

They should do the tsfs thing - agree to his face while having no plans whatsoever to stop sharing information! England should know it's intel isn't safe in his hands and shoud likewise use any intelligence they gain for the best purposes, regardless of Hair Himmler.

[Raftergirl]

12. What intelligence does the US think they will have to share anymore, except misinformation?

[4catsmom]

13. do it anyway UK

Trump wouldn't follow that rule if you gave it to him

[orleans]

22. agree. do it anyway. nt

[Safe as Milk]

52. The UK, then, must choose sides.

If they stand with their EU/NATO neighbors, they ignore the turncoat Trump and share intel with Kyiv. If they stand with Trump, they have to abandon Europe and endanger encroachment by Putin in just a few years. If they use logic and value self-preservation, they stay with Europe.

[BrianTheEVGuy]

14. Heh

No more defensive intelligence for Ukraine, but I’m sure folks in the administration are passing along everything to the Kremlin.

[IronLionZion]

16. Douchebag is likely to share intelligence with Russia

if he hasn't already. He probably has

[mdbl]

33. You watch and see if Putin visits the filing bathroom at Mara Lardo

[IronLionZion]

34. Or see if Russia magically knows Ukrainian troop positions

or something like that

[mdbl]

35. Sickening prospect, isn't it?

[Botany]

17. From the UK to Krasnov

Sod off you wanker.

I am sure that the Euro intelligence community can band together and work to
get the needed intelligence to the Ukrainian forces and they can put up spy satellites
too if they don’t have them up already. This threat is every bit as big as the free
world faced in WW II.

Which side are you on boy, which side are you on?

[AmericaUnderSiege]

18. Everyone is gonna share intel with Ukraine, you treasonous piece of shit.

Absolutely everyone.

[defacto7]

19. Or what?

[Grokenstein]

42. Or he'll send troops to "annex" England!

Is there a soon-to-be-former ally the madman hasn't threatened yet? I guess Japan...

[dchill]

20. Trump loves lightening Putin's load.

[DemMedic]

21. I question if a directive to another government is even valid.

Seems unreasonable, to say the very least that we can dictate how any other government uses intelligence, even if we supply it.

And isn't our intelligence already being ran by a Russian asset?

[patphil]

23. Trump is burning all his bridges. He's essentially creating sanctions on the US through his actions.

We, as a nation, will suffer economically, politically and militarily. Who's going to want to do business with us on any level.
He's putting us exactly where Putin wants us; completely dependent on him as our primary ally. The goal is to make the US a vassal state of Russia.

[Botany]

24. UK to Krasnov

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ADnY_e3CvAs

[EarthFirst]

25. ...and President Zelenskyy is supposed to negotiate in good faith with the United States?

Our word isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on nor the ink with which it’s signed.

[sinkingfeeling]

26. So what? He has no power over the UK. He's destroying our cooperative intelligence sharing. The UK and[

others can provide Ukraine with their intelligence and keep it from the US.

[bluestarone]

54. I was hoping this!

Thanks!

[LiberalArkie]

27. Isn't the toddler feeling special. Like he is somebody special in this world.

[Wednesdays]

28. It's just as well...

Any intel coming from tRump's intelligence apparatus would be (for Ukraine) unreliable at best, and dangerous at worst.

[Danascot]

29. Given the morons t has appointed

to DOD, CIA, FBI, Homeland, etc. US intelligence operatives wouldn't be able to determine it's raining if they were soaking wet from rain. The major qualification is loyalty, not ability.

[TommieMommy]

30. What the??? Drump is not in charge of them. They can do what they want the stupid 💩

[mdbl]

31. The UK should ban Trump from everything, as should any other sensible nation.

[republianmushroom]

32. The convicted felon is going whole hog supporting the commies.

Screw you convicted felon, I support Zelensky a real leader.

[Jakes Progress]

36. But, of course he fills in putin twice a week.

[BigDemVoter]

37. They should just ignore it & do

it anyway. It isn’t as if P*$$Y-Grabber would refuse to pass information to Russia….

[North Coast Lawyer]

38. Russian Agent Confirmed

How much more do people need? The fact that Trump is a Russian stooge has become apparent to all but the most willfully blind.

The UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, ... all other countries of good will ... have to immediately do everything in their power to stop Trump NOW!

[ananda]

39. I think the UK is smart enough to ignore this.

Sheesh

[cstanleytech]

40. He's doing everything he can to help Putin. I still wonder what kind of blackmail Putin is using.

Only things I can think of are either Trump or somebody in his family having sex with an underage person or Trump or somebody in his family being involved in a murder.

Edit: Or Trump or somebody in Trump's family involved in raping somebody.

[LudwigPastorius]

41. He's severing the "special relationship" we share with the Brits as a prelude to pulling out of NATO.

Putin's ass monkey

[Grokenstein]

43. Meanwhile, his toadies are going through boxes of classified docs looking for "good stuff"

to sell to whomever's willing to pay for it.

[Grins]

45. And the "blowback" will be intense.

Every one of those nations have their own intelligence services. They will return the favor. And America’s intelligence services will go blind.

[milestogo]

46. Is he in charge of Britain now?

[BidenRocks]

47. For providing aid and comfort to the enemy,

Chump is impeached for high crimes.
Hegseth also for openly threatening war with China for not kissing our ass.
No more national anthem or pledge of allegiance

It's anarchy time! The laws do not apply if the crime is big enough. The word for a while is dystopia.

[tonekat]

48. I hope the UK disregards this

Screw trump, UK should do it anyway. After all, trump is a criminal, and illegitimate.

[Kid Berwyn]

49. Immunity must extend to traitors.

Fuck you very much, John Roberts.

[moonshinegnomie]

50. The uk should ignore the order

Don’t bother making any statement. Just keep sharing the data

[MissouriDem47]

51. What's the Problem?

Trump was banned from sharing Intelligence with Russia but he did anyway. The say thing is, he got away with it.

[riversedge]

53. It's like Trump wants Ukraine to lose the war. Putin must be extra happy now.
