Ukraine again receives US data to block Russian missiles, says Zelensky

The United States has again provided crucial intelligence to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian attacks. The statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview released this Sunday (18).

Kiev's forces depend on data sent by the American government to be able to track and intercept high-speed ballistic missiles, which have been fired in waves by Russia against Ukrainian cities.

In an interview with the program "Meet the Press", on the American broadcaster NBC, Zelensky confirmed that the sharing of intelligence had suffered an interruption, but that the flow has now been "unblocked".

"We are very grateful for this. Now it is working," said the president of Ukraine.

Zelensky's confirmation that there was, in fact, an interruption in service contradicts recent statements by the American government.

Ukrainian authorities have already been reporting that some recent Russian bombings hit the country without any prior warning.
