US to continue intelligence sharing with Ukraine – White House
Putin demands an end to military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv
The United States will continue sharing intelligence with Ukraine to support its defense, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing.
"Intelligence sharing in terms of defense of Ukraine will continue to be shared," Leavitt stated in response to a question.
Earlier, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin demanded "effective control over a possible ceasefire along the entire front line, an end to forced mobilization in Ukraine, and a halt to the rearmament of the Ukrainian armed forces" as conditions for a 30-day truce.
He also claimed that "a complete halt to foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv must be a key condition for preventing conflict escalation and achieving a political-diplomatic resolution."
