Healey must urge US to drop Ukraine intelligence ban

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting on Trump's ban on the UK sharing US intelligence with Ukraine, Liberal Democrat Defence Spokesperson, Helen Maguire MP, said:

“Trump’s decision to block the UK from sharing American intelligence with our Ukrainian allies is callous and short-sighted. He’s pulling the rug from beneath the feet of the courageous Ukrainian soldiers defending their country, while emboldening Putin further. 

"When he travels to Washington, the Defence Secretary needs to raise this urgently with Pete Hegseth so that intelligence sharing can be restored, as well as the supply of US military aid. Anything less will result in more Ukrainian deaths at the hands of Putin’s brutal war machine.”
