A Zelensky adviser says Ukrainians have died due to restricted US intelligence warnings, despite White House denials of any change. Kyiv also faces ongoing limits on Starlink services.
01Summary
- 01Serhii Beskrestnov told the BBC that inconsistent US warnings gave only one minute before a missile attack in Kyiv.
- 02Ukraine reported an interruption to intelligence sharing last week amid disputes over a Russian oil deal with the Trump administration.
- 03The White House stated there have been no changes to intelligence sharing, citing a possible software problem.
- 04Starshield, used by Ukraine for drone and military communications, restricted mobile unit speeds to 100mph (160km/h).
- 05Beskrestnov said the US has not clarified who is responsible for the Starlink restrictions, which he called a 'deliberate' pressure tactic.
02Why it matters
This matters because inconsistent US intelligence warnings directly endanger Ukrainian civilians and military personnel, while restricted Starlink access hampers Kyiv's ability to defend against drone and missile attacks.
