March 10, 6:49 a.m.: Ukraine can hope for US intelligence information again

Ukraine can hope to receive intelligence information from the USA again in the future in its defense war against Russia.

When asked by a reporter whether he was considering providing the Ukrainians with intelligence data again after the temporary halt, US President Donald Trump replied on board the government aircraft Air Force One that he was close to doing so.

However, he did not provide any details - so it remained open as to when US intelligence data could be sent to the Ukrainians again. The 78-year-old also said nothing about how the suspended military aid for Ukraine could continue.
