Allies did not warn Kyiv of Russian ballistic missile strikes, says Zelenskyy

Ukrainian president's comments on particularly vile' strikes come after US threatened to halt intelligence sharing

Ukraine received no early warning from its partners about a second night of Russian ballistic missile strikes on civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, including a critical power plant struck after dark, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday.
