Rubio Claims U.S. Intelligence Sharing With Ukraine Continues Amid Contradictory Reports

Secretary of State Marco Rubio asserted that the United States has not ceased intelligence sharing with Ukraine, contradicting a report from another outlet that claimed the U.S. had halted such sharing.

The statement was reported by Ynetnews, which noted the timing of Rubio’s remarks. Meanwhile, a report from vg claimed that Rubio confirmed the U.S. had halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine, as claimed by Ukraine’s authorities. The two outlets published their reports within hours of each other, with Ynetnews citing Rubio’s statement at 5:12 AM and vg reporting its claim at 6:04 AM.
