Rubio says Trump rejects claims of deliberately harming Ukraine or ending intelligence sharing

Marco Rubio said Donald Trump was frustrated by claims that he had deliberately harmed Ukraine or ordered intelligence sharing with Kyiv to stop. The comments came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met US envoys in Oslo, seeking to improve strained relations and put diplomatic efforts towards peace on a more constructive path.

Zelensky has said Ukraine lacked early warning of Russian missile strikes and has raised concerns about delayed military supplies, including Patriot interceptors and access to the Starshield satellite system. The US denies changing intelligence sharing or deliberately withholding supplies, with Rubio saying decisions reflect competing commitments and US needs. The Oslo talks involved Norway’s prime minister, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and US envoy Steve Witkoff, while Jared Kushner joined remotely.
