Gabbard prevented the participation of intelligence information about Russia’s negotiations with Ukraine with “five eyes” partners

Washington With the continued war of Russia in Ukraine, though High level Meetings To discuss a possible peace road, CBS News learned that TULSI GABBARD, the director of national intelligence, issued a directive weeks ago to the American intelligence community that orders not to share all information related to Russian peace negotiations-Ocrows of Peace with intelligence partners aligned in the United States.

Post -World War II, the United States, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand, said that the intelligence alliance in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand of the so -called CBS News: spoke under the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security issues.

The officials said that the guidance classified all the analyzes and information related to the volatile Russia Ukraine Peace negotiations as “Noforn”, or foreign failure, which means that information with any other foreign country or citizens cannot be shared. The only information that can be shared is the information that has already been released. The memo also limited the distribution of materials related to peace conversations within the agencies that created or arose intelligence.

The memo does not seem to prevent the exchange of diplomatic information collected by other means separate from the American intelligence community, or military operational information that has nothing to do with talks – such as the details that the United States shares with the Ukrainian army to help Defense operations.

The Office of the National Intelligence Director contacted by the CBS News, which was contacted by CBS News, which did not respond.

“In general, the value of the Fives Eyes Intelligence partnership is that when we make political decisions, we can increase the intelligence of each other and thus learn more about the plans, intentions and capabilities of our opponents,” explained Stephen Cash, a former CIA intelligence official in Humand Security.

“Among the reasons for this type of backwardness is expected that we and the other four are sitting on the same side of the table with some other opponents on the other side.”

He said it is important that the allies have a “common intelligence image” so that politics and negotiators can coordinate our positions and get the best deal we can, or go to the best war we can. ” Cash is the CEO of the fixed state, a non -profit organization consisting of former US intelligence and national security specialists and government officials concerned with American democracy threats.

In March 1946, Winston Churchill to talk From the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom and the threat of the “iron curtain” that “descended across the continent.” The United States and Britain first supplied the intelligence coalition in secret, and signed deal To collect information as Bulwark against the Soviet Union.

Later, Canada, Australia and New Zealand joined the ranking, turning what began as a bilateral power into a five -country network that will be known as the five eyes.

But now, nearly 80 years old, some former US government officials have warned that the expansion of Gabbard may undermine the intelligence community alliance – who is frustrated by analysts to share ideas and erode trust between allies who have long relied on open exchanges to form a common image of global threats and paths to successful negotiations.

Often, Sam Vinugrad, a national security shareholder and CBS News, said, often, FIVE EYES has intelligence that helps the United States to make comprehensive intelligence assessments, especially about Russia, given the reach of Five Eyes Partners to other intelligence sources.

“The closure of our most trusted partners from intelligence assessments can have a chilling effect on the sharing of critical intelligence if our partners believe that they are closing the main access – including the main matters in their region. They can decide to take similar steps towards the United States.”

She added: “From a political point of view, if our Live Eyes partners believe that they are stopped from the main information. They can choose to create new structures and channels without us. Full cooperation with our closest partners can discuss matters that affect our national security without our inputs and our perspective.”

However, other former intelligence officers claim that Gabbard’s direction is common in the American intelligence community, and criticism is a lot of confusion about nothing. They say that both the United States and the other members of the Intelligence Alliance often block information from each other in the disparate interest areas. Ezra Cohen, a colleague of the Hudson Institute, who served as the Ministry of Defense of Intelligence in the Pentagon, suggested that the condemnation of the Gabbard note is likely to stem from the Trump administration’s policies and its leadership as director of national intelligence.

“There is a lot of information that we do not share even with our five partners in Laayoune, and it works in the opposite direction. There are many materials in the UK only. There are many Australian materials for eyes only.”

“Our interests are not always compatible with our five partners,” Cohen said. “And where we have different interests, not only Ukraine, we completely distinguish things.”

It is recognized that the guidance can deprive the United States of information, but it maintains these types of decisions historically the standard among all five eyes. He said that the claim that guidance represents “chilling in the relationship” between the United States and five eyes that seem “somewhat similar to fake anger.”

As intelligence and diplomatic efforts continue to work largely from the eyes of the public, the war in Ukraine continues to be a deadly evaluation. Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelinski condemned Moscow on Thursday to launch hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Overnight“As if nothing changed at all. As if there were no efforts by the world to stop this war.”
