US resumes intelligence sharing with Ukraine, boosting long-range strike capabilities

The United States has resumed sharing intelligence with Ukraine after suspending cooperation earlier this week, a move Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said will improve the effectiveness of long-range strikes on Russian territory and awareness of enemy missile and drone attacks. Zelensky confirmed the resumption in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press, without specifying reasons for the pause or when it ended. He also criticized President Donald Trump's decision to ease sanctions pressure on Moscow, expressing hope Trump will change his approach toward Russia. Military expert Ivan Stupak noted the intelligence halt had impacted Ukraine's air defense capabilities and strike planning. American satellite and electronic reconnaissance data helps Ukrainian forces track Russian aircraft movements and plan drone strikes to bypass Russian air defense systems.
