US President Donald Trump said that he had largely lifted a freeze over US intelligence sharing with Ukraine as he had seen both Kiev and Moscow to push both Kiev and Moscow in the hope of a conversation table.
“Okay, we are just about,” Trump told reporters in the Air Force on Sunday, when asked if he would consider resumeing intelligence sharing. “We want to do anything that we can be serious to Ukraine to do something.”
The US stopped providing some intelligence to Ukraine, helping the country’s military target Russian forces after a meeting at the White House between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelanski, Trump and other American officials said they were not sure that Ukrainian leader was serious about peace talks. After the dust, US officials said they were making military assistance including aggressive intelligence sharing.
US officials said they would continue to provide intelligence to Ukraine to help protect their army, but in recent times a barrage of missile attacks by Russia has raised questions to limit assistance on Trump’s decision. Trump recently accepted the toll of the fight and reiterated that he was also considering putting more tariffs on Russia to force peace on peace.
“We are looking at a lot of things,” said Trump.
The US and Ukrainian officials are preparing to meet in Saudi Arabia in a bid to include a possible revival of an important mineral deal in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, with Zelanski and Trump expected to sign in late February.
“I think we are going to make a lot of progress this week,” said Trump.
