U.S. aid pullback is making Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian hacks

The U.S. has curtailed efforts to aid Ukraine against Russian cyberattacks following funding cuts and pauses at government agencies under the Trump administration, leading to significant disruptions in global security operations while particularly affecting critical cybersecurity support in Ukraine. These reductions have strained assistance from key U.S. programs, including military aid and intelligence sharing, pushing Ukraine toward a peace deal seen as heavily influenced by Russia.
