The U.S. said Wednesday it had paused its intelligence sharing
with Ukraine, cutting off the flow of vital information that has
helped the war-torn nation target Russian invaders, but Trump
administration officials have said that positive talks between
Washington and Kyiv mean it may only be a short suspension.
American intelligence is vital for Ukraine to track Russian
troop movements and select targets.
Speaking to France Inter radio on Thursday, Lecornu said France
is continuing its intelligence sharing.
“Our intelligence is sovereign,” Lecornu said. “We have
intelligence that we allow Ukraine to benefit from.”
Lecornu added that following the US decision to suspend all
military aid to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron asked
him to “accelerate the various French aid packages” to make up
for the lack of American assistance.
Lecornu said that in the wake of the U.S. decision, shipments of
Ukraine-bound aid departing from Poland had been suspended,
adding however that “Ukrainians, unfortunately, have learned to
fight this war for three years now and know how to stockpile.”
