What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told NPR that the Trump administration has warned it could halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe interview comes at a time of renewed tension with the White House, and that is the whole summary we have tonight, so I'll stay inside it.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIntelligence sharing is the information that helps Ukraine see what's coming.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA warning about cutting it off is a lever, and it's out in public now.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentZelenskyy said it to NPR, so this is his account of the warning. We don't have a White House response in front of us.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it's an allegation of leverage, told in an interview, with the details still thin. I'd want the full conversation before anyone draws a map.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRight, because a warning isn't a decision. Nobody has actually flipped the switch.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNot yet. And that's the part that matters most to everyone who relies on those updates.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's the group chat where one friend says he'll leave the chat. Except the chat is a war.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, that is a bad comparison, and I'm annoyed at how well it fits.

  11. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLeaving it on read.
