Ukrainians dying because US restricting intelligence sharing, Zelensky adviser tells BBC

Starlink owner Elon Musk said last week that the US government ultimately controls access to Starshield, which was designed for the Pentagon, suggesting it may therefore be behind the restrictions. Trump has denied involvement.Beskrestnov said he thought both issues occurring at the same time was "probably" a deliberate move to put pressure on Ukraine.He told BBC News: "It's probably the United States trying to say [to] us, 'let's have the conversation, negotiation with Russia, you should find the compromise'."Beskrestnov also said Ukraine had its own radar data to provide some limited warning of incoming attacks, but was urgently looking into using alternative communication systems.He added: "Now we understand that something begins to happen with Starlink, and we're not sure what will be the next step."We understand that we should be prepared for some problems in future. And now we're thinking about an alternative for Starlink, not only for air defence, for communication between our forces, between our staff, for civilians also, because we don't know what we should expect in future regarding Starlink."Earlier on Monday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there had not been a "pause" to intelligence sharing."I don't know where [Zelensky is] getting these things or why he's saying these things to the press," he told reporters on Monday.
