Rubio denies pause in US intelligence sharing with Ukraine

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied that the United States paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, urging Kyiv to focus on ending the war. His comments came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Washington had lifted a three-day block on intelligence sharing. Rubio, speaking in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, dismissed Zelensky's account, saying he did not know where the Ukrainian leader got the information. The dispute follows recent US-Ukraine tensions, including restrictions on the Starlink satellite system, while President Donald Trump has accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the conflict. The US has also avoided new sanctions on Russia and allowed imports of Russian oil, with Rubio saying 60-day exemptions aim to give negotiations a chance. He was evasive about a reported Russian proposal for a November meeting with the US and China, excluding Ukraine, reiterating that Washington's goal is ending a war "nobody is winning."
