Overview
- Lead Stories and Snopes reported on Jan. 19 that there is no evidence Ukraine intentionally provided false intelligence to U.S. services.
- The Jan. 16 LCI segment featured ex-DGSE officer Vincent Crouzet saying Ukrainian chiefs decided to stop sharing effective intelligence with the U.S. because of suspected leaks to Moscow.
- Crouzet posted a Jan. 18 clarification on X stating he did not claim Ukrainians fed false data and only referred to suspected risks of U.S.-to-Russia leaks.
- Snopes verified the broadcast clip as genuine and traced the rumor to social-media misinterpretations, including a widely shared post attributed to Luc Rombout.
- Macron said on Jan. 15 that France now supplies two-thirds of Ukraine’s intelligence, a shift discussed on LCI and set against already frayed U.S.-Ukraine intelligence trust since Feb. 28, 2025.
