Investing.com -- France has stepped in to provide intelligence support to Ukraine, as confirmed by Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Thursday. This move comes a day after the United States announced it would halt its intelligence sharing with Kyiv.
The U.S. decision is part of an effort to increase pressure on Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
The U.S. is urging Zelenskiy to cooperate with President Donald Trump’s initiative to organize peace talks with Russia, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Lecornu, in a conversation with France Inter radio station, stated that France has intelligence resources that are being utilized to assist the Ukrainians.
He further mentioned that the U.S. intelligence-sharing with Ukraine had been suspended since the previous day.
Lecornu also noted that the situation may be more complex for their British counterparts who are part of an intelligence community with the United States.
