Rubio says there was no US pause in intelligence sharing with Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied Monday that the United States paused intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, contradicting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent statement that such sharing had been "interrupted" but later resumed. Ukraine depends on U.S. intelligence via the Starshield satellite system to detect Russian ballistic missiles striking Kyiv. The disagreement emerged as President Donald Trump waived sanctions on Russian diesel and pursued negotiations to end the four-year war, while Zelenskyy warned that siding with Russia would undermine Ukraine's defense.
