In brief
Rubio accuses Zelensky of ignoring US intelligence and urges end to war. Rubio says Zelensky’s claims of US cutting intelligence warnings are false and urges Ukraine to focus on ending the war. Originally reported by New York Post.
Rubio blasts Zelensky's intelligence claims
Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of claiming the US cut critical intelligence warnings about Russian ballistic missile attacks.
“I don’t know where he’s getting these things from or why he’s saying these things to the press.”
Zelensky claims intelligence blackouts
Ukrainian President Zelensky said Ukraine went without several intelligence warnings about Russian missile strikes due to limited Patriot interceptors.
“We have dozens of countries who help, but only the United States has this unique intelligence to tell our side when Russia uses ballistic missiles.”
Rubio calls for Ukraine to end war
Rubio urged Ukraine to focus on ending the war instead of complaining about US intelligence sharing.
“Zelensky should be focused on bringing an end to this war.”
Ukraine accused of attacking US ships
Rubio claimed Ukraine struck American energy ships in the Black Sea, causing oil shortages and fuel price hikes.
“We have seen strikes on energy vessels in the Black Sea. And there’s been complaints because we have American companies calling us.”
Trump's diesel price comments
Trump said Ukraine targets Russian diesel refineries, hurting global markets and US fuel prices.
“Zelensky is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets.”
Starshield access issues
Ukraine reported Starshield satellite access slowed for military use, preventing defense against Iranian-made drones.
“Ukraine has insisted that its access to Starshield was throttled in systems moving faster than 100 miles per hour.”
Rubio on war's endgame
Rubio stated the war is about Donetsk, with Ukraine holding the last defensible line to protect Kyiv.
“The Ukrainians have a defensive line that they’ve embedded themselves in. They argue, and military strategists say is true, that it is the last defensible line.”
What it means
Rubio says Zelensky’s claims of US cutting intelligence warnings are false and urges Ukraine to focus on ending the war.
