PARIS, Jan 15 (Reuters) - ‌President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that France was now providing two-thirds ‌of intelligence information to Ukraine, largely replacing the United States, which until ‌last year had delivered the bulk of those services.

In March 2025, Washington made the decision to suspend intelligence sharing with Ukraine as part of efforts to crank up pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr ‍Zelenskiy to cooperate with President Donald Trump's bid to ‍convene peace talks with Russia, ‌which invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
