The United States has resumed providing Ukraine with critical intelligence to help it defend against Russian missile strikes, after a brief pause, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in comments published on Sunday, APA reports citing NBC.
Ukraine has relied on US intelligence to spot the fast-moving ballistic missiles that Russia has fired in waves at its cities. US President Donald Trump had said earlier this week that Washington was still sharing intelligence, despite Ukrainian officials saying some Russian strikes had occurred without warning.
Speaking to NBC's Meet the Press, Zelenskiy said intelligence-sharing had been interrupted but later "de-blocked".
"We are very thankful for this," he said. "Now it works."
But Zelenskyy said that other US actions, such as signing a deal to import Russian diesel and waiving sanctions on Russia that had been slated to take effect this week, will hurt Ukraine.
"If the United States will officially take the side of Russia, of course if these two countries will be together, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand," he said.
Over the past week, a widening rift between Trump and Zelenskyy has sparked concerns that their tumultuous relationship could lead to even worse outcomes for Kyiv. Zelenskyy told NBC that he hopes Trump will remain an ally of Ukraine.
"We want to trust him, and I hope that he will change his decisions," Zelenskyy said. "Because I think that it's all mistakes and it will not help us. And it will not help United States."
