According to Zelensky, his conversation with Rubio touched on issues of access to communications, supplies of interceptors, and intelligence data. He handed the American side a list of urgent demands regarding Starlink.

Resumption of intelligence sharing

Earlier, Zelensky said that the US had resumed sharing intelligence data with Ukraine: Kyiv is once again receiving information from Washington about Russian ballistic missile launches. He thanked the American side for restoring the early warning system that allows Ukrainian forces to learn in advance about approaching threats.
