Oct 18 (Reuters) – The United States has resumed providing Ukraine ​with critical intelligence ‌to help defend against Russian missile strikes after a brief pause, President ‌Volodymyr ​Zelenskiy said ⁠in comments published ⁠on Sunday.

Ukraine has relied on US intelligence to spot the ​fast-moving ballistic missiles that Russia has ⁠fired in ⁠waves at its ​cities.

Speaking to NBC’s Meet ​the Press, Zelenskiy said intelligence-sharing ‌had been interrupted but later “de-blocked”.

“We are very thankful for ⁠this,” he said. “Now it works.”

US President Donald Trump had ⁠said ‌earlier this week ⁠that Washington was ​still ‌sharing intelligence, despite ​Ukrainian officials ⁠saying some Russian strikes had occurred without warning.
