President Donald Trump categorically denied Tuesday that the United States had cut Ukraine off, telling reporters at the White House that the United States was still helping Kyiv and sharing intelligence even as Russian missiles struck Ukrainian power infrastructure for a second consecutive night without advance American warning.

“We are helping them and we are sharing intel, we want the war to end. So, we’re working with them and with Russia on getting the war to end,” Trump said at the White House on Tuesday when asked by a reporter if the United States had stopped providing intelligence to Ukraine.

The denial came as President Volodymyr Zelensky reported Russian forces had unleashed a large-scale airborne attack targeting Kyiv and Kharkiv for a second consecutive night. The assault involved 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 drones, killing at least one person and damaging 26 power stations and substations supplying electricity to Kyiv, leaving 600,000 people without power.

“No advance warning from our partners about the ballistic missile launches. This is the second time Ukraine has received no warning this week,” Zelensky wrote on X.

The Starlink satellite communications terminals used by Ukraine’s military were restricted Tuesday night in a manner that singled out units moving at more than 100 mph, military adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov said. The cutoff appeared to target terminals mounted to Ukrainian offensive drones used to guide strikes onto targets inside Russia, Beskrestnov said, blaming “the current political situation.” Beskrestnov said the Starlink restrictions, which sabotaged several missions, coincided with a blackout of the real-time intelligence on incoming attacks normally provided by the United States, enabling Russian missiles to strike their targets without prior warning for the second straight night.

Writing on Telegram, former Ukrainian defense ministry adviser Serhii Sternenko said it was likely SpaceX acted at the request of the Trump administration, noting that ordinary satellite terminals were unaffected and operating normally.

The Starlink restrictions and intelligence blackout came as the Trump administration pressed Ukraine to observe a unilateral energy cease-fire announced by Trump.

It was not the first time SpaceX is alleged to have restricted Ukrainian forces’ Starlink access, although it has also done the same to Russia. After stepping in during the early stages of the war to provide terminals for the Starlink satellite Internet constellation, keeping Ukraine online after Russian forces damaged and destroyed much of the country’s terrestrial Internet infrastructure, SpaceX pulled the plug on Ukraine’s battlefield communications over Starlink during a fall 2022 counteroffensive aimed at retaking Russian-occupied regions.

In February, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk meted out similar treatment to Russia, upending its forces’ battlefield communications by cutting them off from Starlink. Musk flipped the switch amid reports Russian forces were, among other uses, deploying the units aboard “First Person View” attack drones and using the real time video feed to mount increasingly precise and deadly strikes on civilian targets.
