Ukraine's Zelenskyy thanks US for resuming intelligence sharing

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed gratitude to the United States for resuming intelligence sharing, which he said was crucial for defending against Russian missile strikes. Zelenskyy told NBC's Meet the Press that the US intelligence was blocked for a period, leaving Ukraine vulnerable during ballistic attacks.

The US has unique intelligence capabilities to alert Ukraine about Russian missile launches. Zelenskyy acknowledged the importance of this information and thanked the US for restoring the sharing. He also reported restrictions on satellite services operated by SpaceX, which Ukraine relies on for battlefield communications, shortly after US President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine.

The Trump administration has denied any involvement in the slowdown, and a top US official rebuked Zelenskyy's remarks. However, Zelenskyy believes the restrictions were a message from the American government to limit the speed of SpaceX services. He also warned that waiving sanctions on Russia would strengthen Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine.
