The United States, through Secretary of State Marco Rubio, denied that there has been a pause in intelligence sharing with Ukraine. Rubio stated that there was 'no pause' and urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to focus on resolving the conflict.

Rubio's statement comes in response to a claim made by Zelensky on Sunday, in which the Ukrainian president revealed that the US resumed sharing information with Kyiv after a 'three-day' break.

Zelensky expressed gratitude to Washington for ending what he considered a blockade on information sharing. His remarks were interpreted by some as a reference to temporary difficulties in communication between the two nations.

Rubio, unconvinced by Zelensky's claims, questioned the source of the information that served as the basis for his statements. 'I don't know where he's getting all this or why he's sharing it with the press,' declared the US Secretary of State.

Both Rubio and Zelensky expressed opposing views on the situation, reflecting the complexity of ongoing cooperation between the United States and Ukraine. Rubio's comments were made at a press conference where he discussed the current state of interaction with Kyiv.

The incident illustrates the relevance and sensitivity of intelligence communications among allies, especially in conflict situations. The role of the US as a strategic partner of Ukraine remains a central issue in the current dynamics between the two countries.
