U.S. No Longer Shares Intelligence on Ukraine with Germany

The Atlantic reports on an interview with Germany’s Inspector General of the Armed Forces Gen. Christian Freuding, who claimed that the United States no longer shares intelligence on Ukraine with the Germans. The magazine reports that Freuding “had once been able to text American defense officials ‘day and night,’ but lately communication with his counterparts in Washington had been ‘cut off, really cut off.’ The Trump administration had offered no warning, for instance, about its move to suspend certain weapons shipments to Ukraine. For information about American policy, Freuding has looked to the German embassy in Washington, where ‘there is somebody who tries to find somebody in the Pentagon.’”
