Multiple news outlets report that the United States may have withheld advance warnings from Ukraine about Russian strikes that killed six people and cut power to roughly 600,000, according to sources cited by CBS News. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said allies did not warn Kyiv of Russian ballistic missile strikes, and Ukraine stated it received no intelligence about strikes over two consecutive nights, as reported by The Guardian, CNN, Yahoo, and The New York Times. The reports center on whether Western partners shared timely intelligence before the attacks, with Zelenskyy's account directly contradicting any suggestion that warnings were provided. The incident raises questions about intelligence-sharing between Ukraine and its allies.
