Zelensky says intelligence sharing was "deblocked by the American side"
“deblocked by the American side”
Reported October 19, 2026 by kyivpost.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the United States had resumed intelligence sharing after a three-day interruption, which had impacted Ukraine's ability to receive early warnings of Russian missile attacks. This pause in intelligence dissemination reportedly occurred amid US pressure on Kyiv to end the conflict with Russia, with President Trump publicly criticizing Zelensky and suggesting he was not interested in peace. The dispute over intelligence sharing arose as Ukraine continued strikes on Russian energy facilities, a tactic that US officials had reportedly warned could lead to restrictions on intelligence cooperation.
