Rubio denies US halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denies that the United States has halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine, contradicting claims made by Ukrainian authorities. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine received no advance warning before a Russian attack on energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy stated that at least ten energy facilities were hit by ballistic missiles overnight, leaving over half a million Ukrainians without power. He also alleged that US officials ordered a block on the Starshield satellite network, which Ukrainian drones rely on for maneuvering, though Rubio did not comment on this specific claim. Rubio, speaking during a visit to Uzbekistan, urged Zelenskyy to focus on ending the war with Russia and dismissed the intelligence-sharing allegations as baseless. The attack and the dispute over US support come amid heightened tensions over Washington's shifting policy toward the conflict.
