Zelensky emphasized the importance of receiving such intelligence in order to save lives, writing on Telegram on Tuesday, Oct. 13, \"There was also a particularly cowardly ballistic missile strike on Kyiv – five missiles that hit civilian infrastructure. Unfortunately, there was no warning from our partners regarding this strike.\" He further explained that intelligence data on the launch of Russian ballistic missiles is crucial for preventing fatalities, stating, \"Having a warning about ballistic missiles is precisely what helps prevent killings.\" However, Zelensky did not identify the partners he believed would have provided this warning or offer an explanation for the lack of intelligence.",
