US gave us no warning of Russian strikes on Kyiv power plants, Zelenskyy says

Key Points:

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine did not receive a US warning before a Russian missile attack on Kyiv Sunday night, raising concerns that Washington may be withholding intelligence to pressure Kyiv.
• Ukrainian officials confirmed no prior warning was given before the 11pm missile strike on power plants, though a warning was received before a subsequent 3am attack.
• Zelenskyy criticized delays in US missile supplies and sanctions relief for Russia, suggesting these actions undermine Ukraine’s defense efforts.
• US President Donald Trump recently waived sanctions on Russia, claiming he aims to keep Russia at the negotiating table, while accusing Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war.
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited a possible software problem with the early warning system as a reason for missed alerts, but US officials have not previously acknowledged such technical issues.
