U.S. to restart intelligence sharing and security assistance to Ukraine
The United States will immediately lift a pause on intelligence sharing with Ukraine and resume providing security assistance to Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government.
The United States will immediately lift a pause on intelligence sharing and resume providing security assistance to Ukraine after delegates from Kyiv agreed to accept the Trump administration's proposal for a 30-day interim ceasefire with Russia.
"Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties," according to a joint statement issued Tuesday after meetings in Saudi Arabia.
"The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace," the statement added.
The Kremlin did not immediately comment.
The future of U.S. support for Kyiv has been in grave doubt since an extraordinary on-camera spat between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Feb. 28. In the wake of that confrontation, Trump's administration paused intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
