WASHINGTON, March 6. /TASS/. Ukraine receives 80% of intelligence from allies, mainly from the United States, Politico reported, citing a Ukrainian source.

On March 5, Fox News quoted CIA Director John Ratcliffe as saying that the United States had suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine. A congressional official told the newspaper that the halt in intelligence sharing affects "everything" and was suspended "Tuesday morning."

According to the newspaper's source in Ukraine, the country’s armed forces continued to receive intelligence from their partners as of March 5. The source declined to specify which countries he meant.
