Meanwhile, Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the panel has received "no notification of any change in posture with respect to intelligence support to Ukraine" and is seeking confirmation from the administration. Republican Rep. Don Bacon also rebuked the White House over the reported reductions in intelligence sharing and Starlink access, saying the moves equate to "aiding the invader" and warning that President Donald Trump's legislative agenda is "dead" in the 119th Congress unless the administration changes course.
The warnings follow two consecutive nights in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv received no early launch alerts from Western partners ahead of Russian ballistic missile attacks, including an overnight barrage of 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 drones that damaged 26 power facilities and four oil and gas sites and left at least 600,000 people without electricity. Multiple sources told CBS News that the US may have intentionally withheld early warnings while officially blaming "bad weather" for the failure.
