Zelensky disputes US resumed intelligence sharing with Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday again called into question whether the U.S. has continued to share intelligence with the war-torn country a day after he said Washington resumed providing Kyiv with such information to help defend against Russian missile strikes.
Zelensky said Russia launched ballistic missiles and drones at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure overnight, with Kyiv receiving no early warning of the attack from partner countries that previously shared such intelligence.
The comments come a day after Zelensky, speaking to NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” said intelligence-sharing had been interrupted but later “de-blocked.”
“We are very thankful for this,” he said. “Now it works.”
