Trump has banned Britain from sharing US intelligence with Ukraine. Despicable.
>>>The United States has banned Britain from sharing intelligence from Washington with Ukraine as part of its withdrawal of support for
Volodymyr Zelensky.
Donald Trump's decision to freeze American military aid to
Kyiv yesterday brought warnings that Ukraine could run out of weapons in as little as two to three months' time.
But on top of missiles and ammunition, all UK intelligence agencies and military outlets also received an order expressly forbidding the sharing of US-generated intelligence, previously known as 'Rel UKR' - short for Releasable to Ukraine'.
Since the conflict began three years ago, the UK and other Western security partners such as Australia and
New Zealand have shared such knowledge with Ukraine.
But the Mail has learnt the top-level security classification has now been removed by the United States pending further notification and is likely to impact upon Kyiv's ability to defend itself against
Russia's continuing onslaught.
The ban affects the likes of the UK's
GCHQ, the spy agencies and intelligence branches of the Ministry of Defence.
Last night, UK military intelligence expert Phil Ingram told the 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.
