Summary

U.S. and European intelligence assessments contradict claims by both Trump and Putin that Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk region are encircled.

Intelligence shared with the White House indicates Ukrainian troops face pressure but are not surrounded.

Despite this, Trump reiterated the encirclement claim in public statements and conversations with Putin.

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy denied the claim, calling it misinformation. Analysts say Putin’s false narrative aims to pressure Ukraine into negotiations.

Trump wants Ukraine out of Kursk so he can look like a hero to Putin and brokered a ceasefire. Putin won't accept a ceasefire if Ukraine is still in Kursk

In Trump logic that means he is justified to do anything to get Ukraine out of Kursk up to and including sharing intel with Russia on Ukrainian positions in Kursk because they are in his way and he does not give a shit about Ukraine or Ukrainian lives
