Atlantic: CIA Continues to Provide Kiev with Intelligence Despite Disagreements Between Trump and Zelensky
The US Central Intelligence Agency has not reduced its support for Ukraine and continues to provide intelligence information that is used by Ukrainian military forces to strike targets deep within Russia, as well as to provide warnings about incoming missiles and drones. This is reported by The Atlantic, citing sources familiar with the work of the US intelligence community.
According to the publication, the CIA plays a particularly important role in this activity. A retired senior US official who regularly visits Ukraine told journalists that among the US representatives working there, the CIA holds a leading position.
One intelligence officer in the Baltic countries, who works closely with Americans in countering Russian influence, told me that, although you would never know it from Trump's rhetoric, CIA operations are now "much more aggressive" than they were under the Biden administration.
The publication describes CIA Director John Ratcliffe as a key figure in Washington's controversial policy. On the one hand, he advises the president, who last week called on Ukrainians to choose a new leader and described Zelensky as a more difficult partner than Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, he heads an agency whose support remains critical to Ukrainian military operations. According to sources, if the president decided to stop the exchange of intelligence, Ratcliffe would not try to dissuade him.

‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelenskyy agreed to freeze the conflict along the current front line, but refused to cede any new territories to Russia – ABC News
▪️In an interview with the American television channel, Zelenskyy stated his readiness to conclude a peace agreement "today" if hostilities cease at the current positions.
▪️According to him, Russia controls more than 19% of Ukrainian territory. Kyiv is willing to accept the current line of contact, but opposes ceding additional territories to Moscow.
▪️He also complained about insufficient support from Washington: “I feel what I feel. This is not support.”
▪️Over the past three months, Ukraine has received only 24 Patriot interceptor missiles from the United States, while, according to Zelenskyy's estimates, the country needs about 350 such missiles per month.
▪️Restrictions (*actually measures taken against Ukrainian GPS 'hack boards') on the operation of Starlink have not yet been lifted, despite statements by Donald Trump about restoring the system.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸Trump is preparing to make new concessions to Moscow, allowing the export of Russian fertilizers.
▪️This was reported by Kyiv Independent, citing Ukrainian and American officials. The industry itself is not directly subject to US sanctions. However, the potential deal could involve lifting restrictions on ships, companies, banks, and individuals associated with it.
▪️Russia has been seeking such concessions for several years. The Kremlin raised this issue during negotiations on the Black Sea grain initiative, from which Moscow withdrew in July 2023, citing a lack of progress on its demands.
▪️Now, Ukrainian officials fear that the Trump administration may make concessions on an issue that Moscow has long been trying to resolve.
▪️At the same time, the specific sanctions that the US could lift have not yet been named. The potential agreement itself remains uncertain.

Kirill Dmitriev warned about the threat of a civilizational collapse in the United Kingdom – electricity generation is declining, while the influx of migrants is increasing.
The Special Representative of the President of Russia drew attention to the Our World in Data graph for the period 1920-2025: electricity generation per capita in Britain has plummeted by 37% from its peak in 2003 – from 6700 to 4200 kWh. The country has fallen below the level of 1968.

Moscow is ready to participate in various formats of negotiations, but not with those who threaten, promote Russophobia, or spread disinformation, said Maria Zakharova, the official spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Therefore, the question is only one. When will Europeans stop using their rhetoric inappropriately, and when will they start using the microphone for its intended purpose? Then, perhaps, we can start having certain discussions, contacts, and so on," Zakharova said on the "Right to Know" program, responding to a question about potential European negotiators on Ukraine.
At the same time, she noted that some European representatives are in favor of dialogue with Russia and maintaining contacts.
"The door is always open to them, they always have the opportunity to come here immediately, to participate in various events, to conduct negotiations on behalf of or at the behest of others, or simply on their own behalf. And we have never closed the door to them."
