Ukrainian President Zelenskyy accused the US of failing to warn of incoming Russian missiles and hindering Ukraine's response through Starlink restrictions. Kyiv reported two missile strikes on Tuesday, with no advance warning from Western partners.
Zelenskyy said the US had threatened to stop intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and SpaceX had restricted Starlink services, disrupting drone missions. The attacks targeted critical infrastructure, including a thermal power plant in Kyiv.
The US and Russia are under pressure to resolve the energy ceasefire dispute, with Trump demanding Ukraine halt attacks on Russian refineries. Zelenskyy accused Washington of undermining Ukraine's defense by limiting Starlink, which is crucial for long-range drone strikes.
Ukraine's defense officials confirmed the Starlink restrictions, which affected military operations. The US has not commented on the restrictions, and there is no immediate resolution to the dispute over intelligence sharing and military support.
