U.S. Secretary of State Rubio on Monday denied that the United States had suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine during his visit to Uzbekistan. This followed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's statement on Sunday that the U.S. had previously halted the provision of critical intelligence to help Kyiv defend against Russian missile attacks, but had since "unblocked" and resumed sharing. Ukraine has relied on intelligence provided by the U.S. through the Starshield system to detect fast ballistic missiles launched by Russia toward its cities.
