I am writing to express my deep concern over the reported cessation of U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine. This decision not only undermines Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russian aggression but also jeopardizes the security of our European allies and, ultimately, the United States. I urge you to take immediate action to restore this critical intelligence flow.
Since the start of Russia’s unprovoked invasion, U.S. intelligence has been instrumental in helping Ukraine counter attacks, protect civilians, and target hostile forces effectively. Cutting off this vital support now—when Ukraine is engaged in a fight for its survival—risks emboldening Russia, prolonging the conflict, and increasing instability in the region. If Ukraine falters due to a lack of timely intelligence, the repercussions will extend far beyond its borders, weakening NATO’s deterrence and emboldening other authoritarian regimes that seek to challenge international order.
Intelligence sharing is not just a matter of military advantage; it is a strategic necessity for global security. The United States has long stood as a leader in defending democracy and sovereignty. Curtailing intelligence support contradicts our commitments to allies and partners, raising serious concerns about our reliability at a time when unity is most needed. This decision also weakens our own security, as a Ukrainian defeat or prolonged war could draw the U.S. into a larger conflict with even greater costs.
I urge you to do everything in your power to reverse this policy. Please advocate forcefully for the resumption of intelligence sharing and ensure that Ukraine receives the support necessary to protect itself, our allies, and U.S. strategic interests. A strong, well-informed Ukraine is essential to global stability and American security.
