Volodymyr Zelensky says intelligence flow was "blocked for some period of time" before restarting

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that the flow of intelligence between Washington and Kyiv had restarted after an interruption, speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press as relations with President Donald Trump grew strained. The remark came amid Ukraine’s large drone assault on Russia, which sparked fires at an oil terminal and depot in St Petersburg; Trump criticized those strikes, paused plans for new sanctions on Moscow, and defended a waiver against such penalties. Zelensky said easing sanctions would help Russia’s war effort and warned that Washington siding with Moscow would be a historic error. He also discussed talks with US envoys. The restored intelligence channel matters because it affects Kyiv’s ability to conduct operations while US policy remains unsettled.
