Ukraine finds itself staring into the abyss. A chill wind blows not just from the East, where Russian artillery continues its grim song, but now from across the Atlantic. Whispers of a “Ukraine Intel Meltdown” are hardening into stark headlines: Trump, flexing his isolationist muscle, has reportedly severed the flow of vital US intelligence to Kyiv. The timing couldn’t be worse. As these videos circulating online reveal, this intelligence blackout comes as the drums of war beat louder, with China posturing and global tensions reaching a fever pitch. For those of us who’ve witnessed the brutal calculus of conflict firsthand, the implications are terrifyingly clear. Without the eyes and ears of US intelligence, Ukraine’s fight for survival becomes immeasurably harder, its soldiers facing the enemy blinded, its cities vulnerable. Is this the unraveling of Ukraine’s defenses? Are we witnessing the dawn of a new, even more dangerous phase of this war?
Key Insights from the Frontlines of Information
Intelligence Blackout: Multiple sources confirm reports of President Trump ordering a halt to US intelligence sharing with Ukraine. This isn’t just bureaucratic friction; it’s a strategic amputation, crippling Kyiv’s ability to anticipate Russian moves and defend its territory. Imagine trying to navigate a minefield in the dark – that’s the stark reality facing Ukrainian forces.
Strategic Shift: The sudden intelligence cut is portrayed not as an isolated policy tweak, but as a fundamental shift in US-Ukraine relations. One video bluntly states Trump is "saving Putin again," suggesting a deliberate move to weaken Ukraine and pressure them into unfavorable peace negotiations. This isn’t about ‘America First’ – it’s about abandoning an ally in their hour of greatest need.
Echoes of Desperation: A chilling detail emerges from the fog of war: Ukrainian soldiers reportedly resorting to throwing beehives at Russian positions due to grenade shortages. This isn’t just a quirky anecdote; it’s a visceral illustration of the desperate measures forced upon soldiers when resources dwindle. It speaks volumes about the potential strain on Ukrainian supply lines and the very real human cost of dwindling international support.

Global Flashpoints: Adding another layer of complexity, the videos highlight China’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric, declaring itself "ready for war." This isn’t happening in a vacuum. The withdrawal of US intelligence support for Ukraine occurs against a backdrop of escalating global tensions, suggesting a potentially wider, more volatile conflict on the horizon. The war in Ukraine risks becoming just one front in a larger, more dangerous global confrontation.
Historical Context – A Partnership Betrayed?: One video, referencing a prior report, underscores the deep partnership between the CIA and Ukrainian intelligence, a collaboration crucial to Ukraine’s defense against Russia. This historical context makes the current intelligence cut even more jarring. It’s not just a policy change; it’s a potential betrayal of a long-standing alliance forged in the crucible of conflict. The trust, painstakingly built over years, is fracturing at the very moment Ukraine needs it most.
The Looming Shadow of Isolationism
The sudden cessation of intelligence sharing isn’t merely a tactical disadvantage for Ukraine; it’s a symptom of a larger geopolitical disease: isolationism. Trump’s move, whether calculated or impulsive, signals a dangerous retreat from global engagement, leaving allies vulnerable and emboldening adversaries. For Ukraine, already bleeding and battling for its very existence, this isolationist turn feels like a cold betrayal. The human cost of this “intel meltdown” will be measured not just in lost territory, but in lives – Ukrainian lives, caught in the crosshairs of a superpower’s political machinations. The long-term ramifications extend far beyond Ukraine’s borders, signaling a potential unraveling of international security architectures and a descent into a more chaotic and dangerous world order.

UK intelligence reports major loss of Russian, North Korean ammo in Ukraine’s strikesKanal1333,697 views | 958 | October 1 2024 04:00:31 (54 comments)[ Read more … ]
#Kanal13 #likekanal13 #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine https://www.youtube.com/user/kanal13az?sub_confirmation=1 – SUBSCRIBE TO US! The UK Defence Ministry has assessed the Russian army’s losses from Ukrainian strikes on ammunition depots in Tikhoretsk and Toropets in Russia. According to British intelligence estimates, the total amount of ammunition destroyed at these depots represents the largest loss of ammunition supplied by Russia and North Korea during the war.
“The strikes will almost certainly cause, at a minimum, short-term disruption to Russian artillery and small-arms munitions supplies, critical resources in a war of attrition dominated by mass fires,” the intelligence report stated.
According to the report, the strike on September 18 likely destroyed at least 30,000 tons of ammunition in open and bunker storage.
The ministry pointed out that these strikes illustrate that, despite the Russians deploying an extensive layered air defense system including fighter jets around Ukraine, they continue to struggle against Ukrainian UAVs used in deep-strike operations into Russia.
The report added, “It is highly likely this will force further dispersals in the Russian logistics chain for fear of additional strikes, increasing the burden on an already stretched system.” The attacks on military depots near Russian Toropets were carried out by Ukrainian drones. As Ukraine’s presidential spokesperson Serhii Nikiforov remarked: “The Russians will be the first to learn when the West approves strikes deep into Russian territory with missiles produced by the U.S. and Europe.” On the night of September 29, Russia reported drone attacks across seven regions. Ukrainian drones hit a missile and ammunition arsenal in Kotluban, Volgograd region, more than 600 km from the Ukrainian border. Despite being heavily protected by electronic warfare and air defense systems, Ukrainian units completed their mission successfully.
“A fire and detonation of ammunition were observed at the arsenal,” the General Staff of Ukraine added.
The operation was conducted by the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, in collaboration with units from the Special Operations Forces, the Main Directorate of Intelligence, and the Security Service of Ukraine. Sources of various Ukrainian media indicated that the operation was coordinated by the Main Directorate of Intelligence, Special Operations Forces, Security Service, Foreign Intelligence Service, and Armed Forces of Ukraine. The strike destroyed Russia’s arsenal of missiles, ammunition, and explosives. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join – click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism
