Trump Confirms US Intelligence Sharing With Ukraine Amid Russian Strikes

US President Donald Trump confirmed Tuesday that Washington continues to share military intelligence with Ukraine, despite concerns over missing missile warnings and renewed Russian attacks that Kyiv says violate a proposed energy ceasefire.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported that Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv, targeting a thermal power plant. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that an attack on a residential high-rise killed two people.

Zelenskiy expressed frustration over the absence of advance warnings from Ukraine's allies, warning that Russian forces were preparing additional missile launches.

The attacks followed Trump's Sunday announcement of a Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire, although neither country has formally confirmed an agreement.

Speaking to reporters, Trump insisted that US intelligence cooperation with Ukraine remained active.

"We are helping them, and we are sharing intel," Trump said, adding that Washington was working with both countries toward ending the conflict.

However, Trump declined to say whether Russia had violated the proposed ceasefire.

Zelenskiy separately told NPR that intelligence sharing had continued, although Ukrainian military commanders had received warnings about a possible suspension.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha also confirmed continued US intelligence assistance, suggesting the delayed missile warnings were related to the weapons Russia deployed.

Meanwhile, tensions have intensified over Trump's decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports to address rising fuel prices ahead of November's US midterm elections.

Zelenskiy argued that the sanctions relief would have little impact on American fuel costs but could provide Moscow with additional revenue to finance its military operations.

He also confirmed that Ukraine had suspended attacks on Russian oil refineries following Trump's ceasefire announcement.

Ukraine has relied on refinery strikes to weaken Russia's war economy, while US intelligence remains essential for detecting incoming ballistic missiles and identifying military targets.

Missile specialist Fabian Hoffmann warned that European allies have limited capabilities to replace America's advanced space-based missile detection systems.

Despite the tensions, Zelenskiy reiterated Ukraine's willingness to pursue diplomatic negotiations, including potential meetings with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

He emphasized that Kyiv would support a reciprocal energy ceasefire if Moscow respected its terms.

Russia, meanwhile, has provided no clear confirmation of the proposed agreement, with the Kremlin acknowledging only that diplomatic contacts remain ongoing.
