Zelensky tells NBC 'thankful' US has unblocked intelligence sharing
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was "thankful" that the United States has resumed intelligence sharing after a pause had left his country more vulnerable to Russian missile strikes.
"It was blocked for some period of time. And then it was deblocked by the American side. We are very thankful for this. Now it works," Zelensky told NBC's "Meet the Press" in an interview published on Sunday.
"Only (the) United States has this unique intelligence to tell our side when Russia uses ballistic missiles. And we didn't get it during ballistic attacks during three days," Zelensky added.
In the past week, Kyiv also reported restrictions to satellite services operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX, which Ukraine relies on for battlefield communications, shortly after US President Donald Trump criticized Ukraine and urged it to stop targeting Russian oil refineries.
Zelensky said he believed "it was a message from American government to limit the speed. And technically, SpaceX did it."
Zelensky told NBC it would be "a historic mistake" if the United States formally supports Russia, which launched an invasion of Ukraine in 2022. But said he believes his country retains bipartisan support in Washington and that he still views Trump as an ally.
"We want to trust him, and I hope that he will change his decisions," the Ukrainian leader said of the US president. "Because I think that it's all mistakes and it will not help us. And it will not help United States."
In another setback to Kyiv, Trump on Friday signed an executive order that waived sweeping sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia -- measures adopted by Congress last month.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday described that as a 60-day pause to "analyze" the impact on the global economy.
The waiver came after Trump struck a deal with Putin to allow exports of Russian diesel, a move intended to ease fuel prices in the United States ahead of midterm elections next month.
Zelensky said waiving sanctions was "strengthening (Vladimir) Putin's war against us" -- referring to the Russian president -- and if Washington officially takes Moscow's side, "It's a historic mistake and a big tragedy."
