CIA Director John Ratcliffe said Wednesday that the US has paused intelligence and weapons shipments to Ukraine following the clash in the Oval Office between President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump last Friday.

Trump had a real question about whether President Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said let’s pause,” Ratcliffe told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview on Wednesday.

“I want to give a chance to think about that and you saw the response that President Zelensky put out,” Ratcliffe added, “So I think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, I think will go away.”

Ratcliffe expressed hope that the pause will soon be lifted and emphasized his commitment to working with Ukraine towards achieving peace, following a letter from the Ukrainian president to Trump.

And I think we’ll work shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine as we have to push back on the aggression that’s there, put the world in a better place for these peace negotiations to move forward,” the CIA director added.

A senior US military official said the US has already curtailed some intelligence sharing, including carrying out fewer intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance flights that could impact both offensive and defensive operations including air defense, since Ukraine depends on US intelligence for overwatch.

In the lead up to Trump’s inauguration, Ratcliffe and the Trump transition team were told of the value of intelligence sharing with Ukraine by US officials who stressed that it was a hallmark of their achievements on the battlefield, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

Zelensky announcement that he is ready to agree and sign just any papers present to him by Trump after White House outburst wasn't as a result of his own introspection, it was as a result of what is coming to him from USA. He had no choice than to chill and comply, he has been humbled

America only end war to start a big one. The Zionist war has not been completed they promised to destroy 7 countries and Iran is still standing they will end all distractions in Ukraine and other places and focused solely on Iran. Thats what Zionist controlled America wants

Zelenzky started getting ready for trump aids cuts.. but the job to b done to not feel it is so enormous, including launching numerous satellites into orbit to get an aerial eye over land ND gather intelligence...

See, if Ukraine survives this war . They will become the militarily strongest nation in the whole of EU... They will b producing exceed tanks, munitions , drones even explore space science to have a hawk eye intelligence... Infact, Russia won't b able to try this again.... Ukraine go bad gan

Obviously cool..

And if Ukrainians are wise, they should hit the streets demanding for the comedian to resign ASAP..

They elected him to bring them peace and prosperity, instead he gave them a regrettable, brutal and unforgettable war. Even when he knows that it is a war he can never win. A lot of families have been dealt with, sacrificed along with multi million/billion properties lost. Whereas, Zelensky and his family are the safest people on earth..

You know, that's why I'm always proud of our forefathers as warrior kings, they led at the warfront, not stay behind closed doors issuing useless commands. Sometimes, even their sons are not left out once the battle begins..

Putin is a former top KGB agent before he became President, but the other was a comedian like Basket mouth and co. There will always be a difference in reasoning and approach to conflict...
