The Wall Street Journal first reported on the administration's plans to share intelligence.
Russia reacted cautiously to the Trump administration's plans to expand intelligence sharing. “The US regularly provides intelligence to Ukraine in real-time. It is obvious that the entire NATO and US infrastructure is used for collecting and transmitting intelligence to the Ukrainians,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Meanwhile, sources from the Financial Times report that the UK is already assisting Kyiv with some long-range strikes on Russian territory. The publication writes that Ukraine is expanding cooperation with NATO in intelligence and long-range strikes, and Britain is already involved in operations against Russia at Washington's request.
