US resumes intelligence sharing with Ukraine on Russian missile strikes, Zelenskyy says

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that the United States has resumed providing Kyiv with advance warnings of Russian ballistic missile strikes after a brief suspension. The restoration of the intelligence flow, discussed during a meeting with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in Oslo, was described by Zelenskyy as "great" and vital for protecting civilians.

"It’s very important for our people, for children, adults, civilians, because we can hear when ballistic [missiles] is coming. So we are thankful to the American side," Zelenskyy told reporters.

The talks, which also included Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Finland’s president Alexander Stubb, EU and British security officials, and a video link from Jared Kushner, occurred amid heightened tensions in U.S.–Ukraine relations. President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that Zelenskyy is an obstacle to a peace deal and has called for a new Ukrainian leader.

Zelenskyy also referenced a recent phone call with U.S. secretary of state Marco Rubio, noting concerns over recent restrictions on the Starshield satellite service that have limited Ukraine’s ability to conduct mid-range drone strikes. He offered to halt long-range attacks on Russian oil refineries—a demand from Trump—if the United States supplied Patriot missile interceptors, which the Pentagon has so far blocked.

The Ukrainian president rejected a proposed trilateral summit involving Russia, the United States and China, stating that any agreement on Ukraine must include Ukraine at the negotiating table.

In a separate statement, Rubio said there was no deliberate political directive to reduce support for Ukraine and that Patriot systems were in short supply due to global demand.

At least nine people were killed in Ukraine on Tuesday, including three victims of a Russian drone strike on a vehicle convoy traveling the Kyiv-Odesa highway.
