But the idea is actively being discussed inside the White House, one Trump administration official told Semafor. And notably, there’s not yet consensus on what to do: CIA Director John Ratcliffe is said to be opposed to the idea. “Trump is pretty pissed off. He could order it,” the administration official said, suggesting that Trump should end its intelligence-sharing specifically for targets inside Russia instead. Last year, Trump briefly suspended intelligence-sharing with Ukraine after a tense Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said recently that Kyiv received no intelligence from partners on a Russian missile attack.

Russia is ramping up weapons production and continues to use Western technology. Are sanctions keeping pace with Russia’s ability to adapt and produce weapons?

NAKO Executive Director Olena Tregub opened a discussion on sanctions against Russia at the Warsaw Security Forum 2026 with this question.

Russia is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. Yet it continues to obtain Western technology and use it to build deadly weapons. “This is not a technical matter. It is a matter of national survival for Ukraine and security for all of Europe,” says Olena.

Europe and the United States need to rethink their approach to sanctions. This means not only introducing new restrictions, but also improving export controls and enforcement of existing sanctions.

NAKO is a program partner of the Warsaw Security Forum 2026, one of the key international platforms for discussions on security, defence, sanctions policy, and support for Ukraine. The forum brings together government officials, representatives of international institutions, civil society, and experts from more than 90 countries.
