US resumes intelligence sharing with Ukraine, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the United States has resumed intelligence sharing with Ukraine after a pause of "a certain time," with the Ukrainian military receiving data on Russian ballistic missile trajectories. Zelensky made the statement on Sunday, October 18, in an interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press," without providing further details. He added that a new meeting between Ukrainian officials and the White House could take place next week to discuss ending the war, and called the US rapprochement with Russia a "historical mistake." On October 14, Zelensky said the Trump administration had warned Kyiv about a possible intelligence-sharing suspension if Ukraine did not stop striking Russian oil refineries. On October 12, Ukrainian forces reported not receiving warnings about Russian ballistic launches, which Politico attributed to "bad weather," while Semafor reported Trump was "furious" over continued Ukrainian strikes.
