The Trump administration has made a decision to restrict Ukraine's access to commercial satellite images purchased by the US government from Maxar.

Source: National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and Maxar, reported by "European Truth" referencing CNN.

Details: Ukraine has been utilizing Maxar satellite images to monitor the movements of Russian troops, assess the terrain, and assist in military planning.

The suspension of access to the images provided by Maxar follows Trump's decision to halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

"Maxar has contracts with the US government and numerous allied countries for the provision of satellite imagery and geospatial data. Each client independently decides how to use and share this data," said a Maxar representative.

"We take our contractual obligations very seriously. This does not change how we support our other clients and their programs," they added.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency stated that it has temporarily suspended access to the system that provides commercial satellite images purchased by the United States, in accordance with the president's directive regarding support for Ukraine.

On Friday, CNN reported that the US continues to share intelligence with Ukraine that may help its forces defend themselves, but has "curtailed" the intelligence that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could use for attacks against Russian occupiers.

Commenting on the aid suspension to Ukraine, President Donald Trump stated that he "wants to stop the deaths."
