Zelenskyj says Ukraine got no warning of Russian strikes; US denies rift

nrk.no (Swedish) —

Ukraine was not warned about Russia's overnight attacks, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, though the US denies any break in intelligence sharing. Over one million Ukrainians were left without power after more than ten energy facilities were hit by Russian drones. Zelenskyj stated on Telegram that no warning came from allies despite new waves of Russian ballistic attacks targeting Kyiv's infrastructure, including a medical center, school, metro station, and residential buildings, with casualties reported. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected the claims, saying there had been no pause in intelligence sharing and urged Zelenskyj to focus on ending the war. The dispute follows last week's accusations of withheld warnings and a separate Ukrainian claim that the US throttled Starlink satellite internet, which is vital for military communications and drone operations. President Donald Trump, who has pressured Ukraine for peace talks since Russia's 2022 invasion, recently removed some Russia sanctions.
