This comes as Kyiv experiences a second consecutive night of missile attacks. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine did not receive the usual advance warning from its Western partners about the devastating Russian ballistic missiles that targeted Kyiv. This has raised concerns about Ukraine potentially losing access to vital intelligence, particularly from the US.",
