Did the Trump administration stop warning Ukraine? Zelensky claims he did not receive warnings from his allies before Russia's latest attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on Tuesday that his government received no prior warning from its Western allies before ballistic missiles fired by Russia struck Ukrainian territory on Monday night. In a social media post, Zelensky noted that five Russian missiles struck civilian infrastructure during the nighttime attack. However, he did not specify whether there were any casualties.

It remains unclear whether Zelensky's remarks mean the United States suspended sharing satellite intelligence or whether its Western partners simply failed to detect the incoming attack. His remarks come amid concerns that President Donald Trump's administration might restrict intelligence assistance to Kiev, after he reportedly urged Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries.

Doubts about a possible suspension of U.S. intelligence assistance arose after Trump reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to purchase millions of metric tons of Russian fuel. The deal, announced ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, aims to alleviate the sharp rise in diesel prices, driven largely by the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha sought to clarify the situation on Tuesday morning during a security conference held in Warsaw. He assured that intelligence cooperation with Western partners was continuing and attributed the failure to detect the attack to the use of "a special type of weaponry employed by the Russian side."

Zelensky's remarks came days after heated exchanges with Trump, after the Ukrainian leader strongly criticized the agreement reached with Putin. In response, the Republican president told reporters at the White House that Ukraine should change its leader "if they want to reach an agreement." For his part, Zelensky called Trump weak and asserted that the problems with gas prices are directly related to the war in Iran, rather than to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
