The US has lifted its intelligence sharing pause with Ukraine. But the damage may already be done.

The Ukrainian public fears the casualties that further limitations on intelligence sharing could cause.

But the recent pause is likely to have had a greater impact at the strategic level rather than at the tactical level.

#DonaldTrump's erratic and partnership damaging politics will motivate (and help) #Europe and other parts of the world, that so far trusted in the political and value stability of the #USA, to quickly establish substantial alternatives to #US-american capabilities in order to become resilient and immune against the #altright viruses.
#Trump and his absurd ketamin clown are just cultivating new powerful alternatives for US-products such as #starlink, #Maxar, drones. #CNN youtube.com/watch?v=TEjKctHQvn

The German Federal Office for Information Security has signed a deal with US computer company Google to provide cloud services for German government agencies.

In a completely unrelated story, Trump ordered the US satellite-picture company Maxar to block Ukraine's access to its pictures, ostensibly to bully Ukraine.

The Kyiv Independent · Maxar Technologies restricts Ukraine's access to satellite imagery amid US halt to intelligence sharingBy Tim Zadorozhnyy

“US aerospace company Maxar Technologies disabled Ukraine’s access to its satellite images after a request from the Trump administration. Maxar said it had contracts with the US government and dozens of allied and partner nations and “each customer makes their own decisions on how they use and share that data”.

#Trump is squeezing #Ukraine very hard to whatever end he has in his puny little mind. Problem is this ‘squeezing’ is measured in lives lost.

What #Maxar has done to UA in denying commercial satellite IMINT it's keen to sell to everyone else is exactly what #GOP and #MAGA shrieked about as the security risk of relying on Huawei telecoms technology in core infrastructure.

But this politically-driven denial of service was not ordered by President-for-Life Xi of China. This was commanded by President-for-Life Donald Trump of Greater America.

Q: Why has the Commission abandoned their policy from 2013 to free the EU institutions and member states from the dependence on a few American software companies?

Commissioner for Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip: "I don't think we have abandoned this policy. The only solution is to invest more, to catch up."
