The tension between Trump and Zelensky; The possibility of reducing US military and intelligence support

The increase in tension between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine has increased speculations about the possibility of a reduction in the military and intelligence support of the United States to Ukraine.

According to Ambassador Arjan, quoted by Reuters, the tension between Washington and Kyiv has intensified following Donald Trump's criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky and the dispute over Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy facilities. Trump, who has partly attributed rising fuel prices in the US to the attacks, has threatened to cut intelligence and military support to Ukraine.

In response to Trump's positions, Zelensky accused the United States of siding with Russia and said that Kiev will not stop attacks on Russian energy targets, because Moscow continues its attacks.

The recent disruption of Ukraine's Starshield satellite internet system, which according to knowledgeable sources occurred following an order attributed to the White House, has increased concerns about Kiev's military dependence on American technologies. A reduction in military intelligence sharing could also weaken Ukraine's ability to detect and counter Russian missile and drone strikes, particularly against energy infrastructure in winter.

On the other hand, with the aim of increasing fuel supply and curbing prices, Trump has announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin to temporarily suspend Russian fuel sanctions and diesel imports; A move that analysts say could help fund Russia's war effort.

Despite the differences, Ukrainian officials have said that Kiev still wants to continue talks with Trump's envoys. Meanwhile, some congressional Republicans are also against pressuring Ukraine to accept an agreement with Moscow's favorable terms.
