Ukraine did not receive US intelligence on planned Russian ballistic missile attacks for three days in a row, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, according to NBC News.
According to the head of state, Ukraine receives important intelligence from many of its allies, including European countries.
However, only the United States has information about upcoming ballistic missile attacks.
"Only the US has this unique intelligence to tell us when Russia uses ballistic missiles. We did not get it during ballistic attacks for three days," Zelenskyy said.

The head of state added that intelligence sharing with the US, including information about Russian ballistic missile attacks, has now resumed.
"We are very thankful for this. Now it works," the Ukrainian president stressed.
Against the backdrop of recent developments, he expressed hope that US President Donald Trump would remain on Ukraine's side or at least take a neutral position.
Zelenskyy recently confirmed that US officials had warned him they could suspend intelligence sharing if Ukraine did not stop strikes on oil refineries in Russia.
Interestingly, Donald Trump publicly claimed that he was helping Ukraine and had not stopped intelligence sharing.
