Member of the House Intelligence Committee of the U.S. Congress, Congressman Jim Himes (Democratic Party) called on the White House to immediately end the pause in intelligence sharing between the U.S. and Ukraine. This is stated in his statement, the text of which is posted on the committee's page on social media X, reports UNN.

According to Himes, the pause in providing material assistance to Ukraine against Putin's aggression is unfair in itself.
But the idea that we will now not share vital intelligence information with Ukrainians who are fighting and dying is unforgivable. Any pause in intelligence sharing must be immediately ended
He emphasized that this intelligence information has saved the lives of Ukrainians.
"As a member of the Intelligence Committee, I have seen how important our relationships with Ukrainian partners in the intelligence field have been for maintaining defense against Russia's relentless and brutal offensive. It has saved the lives of both Ukrainian servicemen and civilians," Himes added.
Recall
The day before, the U.S. cut off a key intelligence line for Ukraine, halting the transfer of data for targeting HIMARS. The decision took effect at 2:00 PM Kyiv time after the Trump administration froze military aid.
