US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday denied that Washington had suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine, contradicting President Volodymyr Zelensky’s account of a three-day interruption.
“There has been no pause,” Rubio told reporters during a visit to Uzbekistan. Zelensky said Sunday that intelligence cooperation had been “deblocked by the American side” following a temporary suspension. He also said Ukraine had gone two consecutive nights without advance warnings from Western partners about Russian ballistic missile launches toward Kyiv.
Questions about Ukraine’s access to early-warning intelligence persisted after Russian attacks early Monday. Kyiv Post reported, citing Ukrainian sources, that no advance warning of the ballistic threat had been received. One of its correspondents in Kyiv said explosions were heard before an air-raid alert sounded.
The dispute comes amid tensions over Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy facilities. The Washington Post reported on Oct. 15 that US officials had warned Ukraine that intelligence sharing would stop if it continued long-range attacks on Russian oil refineries and petrochemical plants. American sources cited by The Washington Post said cooperation had not been fully halted but that some data feeds had been restricted.
Rubio said President Donald Trump wanted both Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin focused on ending the war. Trump separately criticized Ukraine’s refinery strikes and accused Zelensky of lacking interest in reaching a peace agreement.
