The US magazine The Atlantic reports that American intelligence agencies continue to help Ukraine in its war against Russia. They provide Kyiv with information that makes it possible to strike targets deep inside Russian territory. The support matters because whether it continues depends on the decisions of US President Donald Trump.

Warnings about missiles and drones

According to the publication, US intelligence also warns Ukraine about incoming missiles and drones. Thanks to support from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Ukrainian forces have reportedly become so effective at inflicting losses on Russia that even Trump is not delighted about it.

Attitude toward the CIA chief

Ukrainians do not regard CIA Director John Ratcliffe as their ally. They understand that he answers to an unpredictable president and would follow an order if Trump decided to end intelligence support for Ukraine.

Still, after years of cooperation, Ukrainian officials trust Ratcliffe on one important point. They believe he tells Trump the truth about the war, rather than only what the president wants to hear.

The summary was shared on the social network X by the media outlet Nexta.
