Democratic senator: Zelensky says Ukraine doesn’t have full access to Starshield, intelligence sharing
Senators said the limits are degrading Ukraine’s air defenses and intelligence sharing as lawmakers prepare to press the Trump administration for answers.
- On a call hosted by Sen. Thom Tillis, President Zelenskyy informed bipartisan senators that Ukraine's access to Starshield and United States intelligence remains partially degraded, with Richard Blumenthal calling the briefing "highly alarmingly."
- Last week, Four GOP senators demanded an investigation into whether Secretary Defense Pete Hegseth and Pentagon officials restricted Ukraine's Starshield capabilities, directing their inquiry to Defense Department Inspector General Platte Moring.

- Senators declared "Bipartisan, bicameral support for Ukraine was clear & unequivocal" and are preparing immediate action to signal displeasure that the Trump administration has not restored full access.
- Sunday, President Trump posted on Truth Social that Ukraine's strikes on Russian Diesel Refineries are hurting world markets, reflecting the administration's apparent frustration with Ukraine's military targeting strategy.
