The US has resumed the flow of intelligence support and defense assistance to Ukraine after giving the green light to a 30-day ceasefire. The White House confirmed that the Donald Trump administration has resumed intelligence support and defense aid to Ukraine following Kiev’s approval of a 30-day ceasefire. National Security Council (NSC) Spokesperson James Hewitt stated in an interview with AA news agency that they have resumed military aid to Ukraine after significant progress was made in US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia. Intelligence support and military shipments were suspended following the discussions on February 28 in the Oval Office between President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the meeting, Trump accused Zelensky of disrespecting the American people, while Zelensky argued that he had done nothing wrong to apologize for. Speaking in Congress on Tuesday evening, Trump mentioned that Zelensky had sent him a letter expressing Ukraine’s readiness to sign the rare earth elements agreement and engage in peace talks. On the other hand, CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed that intelligence support and military shipments to Ukraine were temporarily halted following the Oval Office dispute between Trump and Zelensky, emphasizing that this was a temporary measure. Trump’s Special Representative Steve Witkoff revealed that Zelensky had apologized in the aforementioned letter.
