Zelensky: US resumes intelligence sharing with Ukraine

Ukrainian President Zelensky confirms that the US has resumed intelligence sharing with Kyiv after a blockade.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the US broadcaster NBC that the US has resumed delivering intelligence information to Ukraine since the weekend. This occurred after a blockade that lasted three days. Zelensky expressed gratitude for the restoration of information exchange, which is significant for Ukraine.

As Zelensky further noted, the blockade during this time hindered Ukraine's ability to defend against Russian attacks, particularly against ballistic missiles. The Ukrainian armed forces could not receive timely warnings during this period, which may have complicated responses to imminent strikes.

Additionally, various sources reported that the use of satellite communications via the Starlink and Starshield systems was also temporarily restricted. This limitation affected the communication capabilities of the Ukrainian army in critical moments, which, according to Zelensky, occurred under the direction of the US government.

The failure to provide information has recently raised concerns in Ukraine regarding the lack of timely warnings. Reports indicated that the current situation is particularly challenging, as Ukraine is on the brink of new Russian attacks and relies on reliable data.

In the same report, Zelensky expressed concerns about the delayed delivery of interceptor missiles that have already been paid for. The weapons, including Patriot and other air defense systems, have reportedly been financed by NATO states but have not yet been delivered or approved.

The issue of deliveries was also framed within the political discussions, where Zelensky accused the US government of delaying arms shipments. The Ukrainian president is expected in Oslo today, where he will meet with US negotiators and European political leaders to discuss the ongoing situation and potential support.
