President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is set to meet with Prime Minister Andy Burnham of Britain in London on Wednesday, a day after Mr. Zelensky said his country had received “no early warning from our partners” about a Russian missile attack against Kyiv.
The comment has raised urgent questions about whether the United States has carried out President Trump’s threat to stop or cut back on sharing critical intelligence with Ukraine and how European countries might — or might not — be able to fill any gap.
Russia struck Ukraine’s energy infrastructure heavily overnight, causing significant damage to 26 power-grid facilities and four oil and gas facilities. At least 600,000 people were left without power, according to officials in Ukraine.
It is not clear if there has been any change to the United States’ approach. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, said on Wednesday that Ukraine had received no warning for one strike but did get warning for the “next three waves of attacks.”
On Tuesday, Mr. Trump denied that intelligence sharing had stopped. “We are helping them, and we are sharing intel,” he said.
Verbal clashes between Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky in recent days have frayed nerves, raising concern about how Ukraine could continue to defend itself against Russia if it were to lose intelligence from the United States.
