O ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky today revealed that the United States of America (USA) had returned to share information with Kyiv after “three days”, thanking Washington for the end of the blockade, which made it difficult for Ukraine to respond to Russian attacks.

 

In an interview with NBC, Zelensky said that sharing information “was blocked for some time and then was unlocked by the North American side,” he said.

“ We're grateful for that. Now it is working,” he said, adding that the absence lasted “three days during the ballistic attacks” in Moscow.

The Trump Administration and Ukraine have experienced in recent days a moment of great tension, with Ukrainians reporting that the United States has limited the transmission of security information, which has caused constraints in the use of the Starlink satellite system, owned by the millionaire Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX.

US President Donald Trump accused Kyiv of wanting to hit the Russian oil refineries and associated Ukrainian actions with rising fuel prices worldwide, exacerbated by the Middle East war triggered by the US and Israel's attacks on Iran.

Zelensky fears Trump will lift more sanctions on Russia: “It will continue”

Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, warned that the temporary lifting of US sanctions against Russia may be the first step towards measures more favourable to Vladimir Putin.
