US intelligence sharing with Ukraine resumes after three-day pause
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that US intelligence sharing with Ukraine has resumed after a roughly three-day pause that left Ukraine unable to detect incoming Russian ballistic missile attacks. Zelensky said the blackout, which ended after American intervention, severely undermined Ukraine's defensive preparations, as only the US possesses the unique intelligence needed to warn of such strikes. The pause followed a dispute over Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, which President Trump blamed for rising diesel prices. The intelligence gap coincided with reported throttling of Ukraine's military Starlink access, though responsibility for that remains disputed. Zelensky also defended his blunt criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him a "killer" while emphasizing his honesty with Trump as a strategic partner.
