The rupture of U.S. intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, confirmed by the CIA director, involves the targeting of longer-range strikes inside Russia.

The Trump administration appears to have ordered at least a partial halt to the crucial intelligence that the United States shares with Ukraine to defend against the Russian invasion, according to a US military official and public remarks made by top Trump administration officials.

The United States has temporarily cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine, officials said on Wednesday, the latest blow to the relationship between the Trump administration and Kyiv. CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the decision in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday morning.
