Summary

France is stepping in to provide military intelligence to Ukraine after Trump froze information sharing with Kyiv.

According to French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu, “Our intelligence is sovereign. We have intelligence that we allow Ukraine to benefit from.”

The U.S. suspension cuts off vital information Ukraine uses to track Russian troops and select targets.

President Macron has ordered acceleration of French aid packages to compensate for American withdrawal.

      When that shit popped off last time there were restaurants putting signs outside saying “We proudly serve freedom fries” where I live in a deep red state. Made it easy to pick who to boycott.

        Joke was on them: no one in France call them “french” fries anyway. So no one cared when they were re-labelled in the US.

        They were invented in Belgium…
