🇺🇸🇺🇦 The U.S. and Ukraine are sharing serious intel again.
Their intelligence relationship is reportedly back at a high level after things took a hit in early 2025.
And Ukraine may already be seeing the difference. U.S. intelligence is reportedly helping with targeting for strikes on Russian forces in Ukraine and energy sites deep inside Russia.
That matters as Kyiv’s long-range drone and missile campaign keeps getting more ambitious and more costly for Moscow.
But this isn’t just Washington feeding Kyiv information. Ukraine is sharing intel back too, including what Zelenskyy says is evidence of Russia passing signals and electronic intelligence to Iran.
So the intel pipeline between Washington and Kyiv looks very much alive again.

Andrey Klepach, one of Russia’s top economists, has been replaced as chief economist of the country’s national development bank shortly after a speech was made public in which he reportedly said Russia’s economy was being damaged by the war in Ukraine.
Russia’s state news agency TASS confirmed that Klepach “no longer holds the position of chief economist at VEB,” one of Russia’s largest banks, but did not give a reason for his departure. A new candidate has been selected and will be appointed soon, TASS added. cnn.it/3UCB4DC
