Just to back up Paul's point, a lot of Americans expressing shock at how Ukrainians are not fully sharing intel with the US because of concerns about leaks to Moscow seem to have missed how intel-sharing between US and Europe started breaking down months ago
US media just hasn't shown much interest

(And when I write "cannot be trusted" I mean this quite literally, as in cannot be trusted with intelligence. The below is an underreported story IMHO. Given that the Dutch cooperate with Sweden, France, Germany & Denmark in the Maximator intel alliance, this is larger than just the Netherlands.)+
