'This will not be easy': Politico assessed whether Europe can provide Ukraine with intelligence data.

Europe seeks ways to help Ukraine after the cessation of intelligence exchange with the USA

According to Politico, Europe is trying to find ways to assist Ukraine following the cessation of intelligence exchange with Kyiv from the Trump administration. Ukraine's allies in Europe are rushing to fill this gap.

However, the article notes that this task will be challenging, as the USA provided Kyiv with a wide range of intelligence data, including satellite imagery and strike data. It is noted that other NATO intelligence services, particularly the UK, France, and to some extent Germany, may take on this burden, but they will not be able to fully replace the USA in this area.

According to a European official, this gap may be difficult to overcome. The US intelligence community significantly outnumbers European partners, especially in satellite technology and analytics.

Even if NATO allows some intelligence exchange with Ukraine, it will be limited, as allies do not want to jeopardize their relationships with Washington or with each other.

It is worth noting that due to the cessation of intelligence, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will lose significant targeting capabilities when firing from HIMARS rocket systems supplied by the USA. Moreover, Ukraine will have less information about Russian military formations and their logistics in real-Time.

According to his recent statement, the head of the Bundestag committee supervising intelligence, Konstantin von Notz, called for the establishment of a European intelligence network for rapid and secure information exchange. He emphasized that we need a European format of cooperation in this area. However, no European country will be able to fully replace American intelligence.
