Right-leaning outlets report that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking to reporters during a visit to Uzbekistan on Monday, said Ukraine and Russia should concentrate on ending their war and warned of a real risk that it could spread into another country. Alternative outlets report that Rubio also denied Washington had paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and France 24 adds that he urged President Volodymyr Zelensky to focus on ending the war. Russia said the same day that it carried out a massive strike on targets in Kyiv and its region. Al Jazeera notes Ukraine relies on US intelligence through Starshield to spot fast-moving ballistic missiles fired at its cities.
