Rubio denies withholding support

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a visit to India Tuesday that the country had not changed its policy on sharing early warnings of Russian missile attacks with Ukraine.

“There's nothing being deliberately denied to Ukraine”

Zelenskyy accuses US of delays

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday accused the US of holding back air-defense missiles paid for by allies under the NATO-led Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List program.

“the Pentagon is delaying the delivery of missiles that our partners have already paid for through the program PURL”

Missing missile attack warnings

Zelenskyy said the US is not always alerting Ukrainian authorities about incoming Russian ballistic missiles, which have become more frequent and are killing people across Ukrainian cities.

“we did not receive an early warning from our partners about the first wave of the Russian ballistic missile attack last night”

Ukraine questions US explanations

A Ukrainian official told POLITICO that early warning systems that previously worked have malfunctioned, and the US has given changing explanations without providing official clarity on the failures.

“U.S. early warning always worked and then suddenly it malfunctioned. Nobody in Ukraine believes in this”

Rubio cites supply constraints

Rubio said Ukraine's appeals for more Patriot interceptors must be balanced against US needs and demands from other allies including Saudi Arabia and Israel, all seeking the same systems.

“Every country in the world would like interceptors”

Trump pressures Ukraine on peace

The growing friction with the US comes as President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Kyiv to stop hitting Russian oil refineries and reach a peace deal with Moscow.
