The US has now paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine (Source: BBC):

National Security Adviser Mike Waltz says the US has "taken a step back" on sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

Speaking to reporters, Waltz adds that the US is "pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship".

He says he spoke on the phone with his Ukrainian counterpart.

Waltz says they had "good talks" about the location and substance of the next round of negotiations.

He says there will be movement in "very short order."


Just once, I'd like to see Washington securing some concessions from Russia. Russia is getting away scot free while, in the name of finding a peace deal, more Ukrainians are dying unnecessarily because we're withholding equipment and, now, intelligence.

I feel sick.

Good explanation.
For a long time, I considered such an impartial mediator an important addition to the branches of power. The last resort when other branches are deadlocked, the adult in the room, the final moral authority.
But that was my (probably, naive) theory of the outsider. Here, in Eastern Europe we didn't reach the stage of the Constitutional monarchy and wasted several generations oscillating between the extremes before trying to implant the "Western" type of democracy. Not every soil managed to accept the implant despite the abundance of the "fertilisers" (financial and other aid, expertise, etc.).
 
"Za naszą i waszą wolność", - as one great Pole said.
Despite all (often stupid) quarrels, Poland and Ukraine are destined to stand together or to lose the states again.
 

The American Administration are obviously back to their Vietnam war strategy and believe Ukraine and its government will cave in to Putin's demands if the American Administration cause more civilian deaths in Ukraine.

Fat chance. All the bullies are doing is hardening the resolve of the Ukrainians and the other members of NATO and rapidly destroying Americas respect and power.

It seems we are damned to live in interesting times.

Alastair Crooke? You might want to do some digging about the author to understand their framing here. Specifically their links to Russian state media and 'think tanks'.
