#Intelligence Sharing

Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that intelligence sharing between Ukraine and the US is operational again, including early warnings about approaching ballistic missiles.

US Secretary of State Rubio attributed the lack of a ballistics warning for Kyiv to a software glitch in Ukraine's early warning system and stated that intelligence sharing has not been suspended. EUCOM is reviewing the incident.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rejected Zelenskyy’s accusations of intentionally restricting Starlink, calling them “irresponsible.” According to the minister, Trump and Rubio made no such decisions.

Zelenskyy announced telephone talks with Trump's special envoys Witkoff and Kushner and the preparation of new diplomatic steps. At the same time, the US unblocked intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Zelenskyy stated that the US withheld intelligence on Russian ballistic strikes for three days before sharing resumed. Trump had previously publicly denied stopping data transfers.

The Ukraine support group in the US Congress spoke out against potential intelligence sharing cuts and Starlink restrictions, calling them unacceptable.

The US has warned Kyiv about potential intelligence sharing cuts due to attacks on Russian refineries. Zelensky confirmed the tension, while the MFA of Ukraine notes ongoing cooperation.

White House Press Secretary avoided a direct answer regarding the suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine amid Trump's demands to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries.
