What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHere is the one-sentence version: Ukraine says it got no warning about Russian strikes two nights running, and President Trump says the intelligence is still flowing.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOkay, but those two things can't both be true. Can they?

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is the question. The New York Times reports Kyiv says no intelligence came before the strikes on two consecutive nights.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhat kind of intelligence are we talking about, exactly?

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWarnings of Russian aerial attacks.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInformation that lets a country see missiles or drones coming, so people can reach shelter and air defenses can get ready.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo it's a smoke alarm.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA smoke alarm that someone else owns, and can switch off. That is exactly why this matters to Kyiv.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd where does the president come in?

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe was asked about apparent American threats to cut off intelligence sharing with Kyiv, and he said information continued to flow.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorContinued to flow. Which sounds lovely, like a river.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA river can flow right past a town without anyone getting a drop. Whether it did here is not clear yet.

  13. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWho's affected?

  14. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorUkrainian civilians and the military first, because the warning is the gap between a shelter and a street.

  15. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWashington is affected too, since it is a partner.

  16. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIs there a reading where this is just a glitch?

  17. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThere could be. Reporting so far does not say why Kyiv got nothing, and I will not guess past what we know.

  18. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the information is probably just running late.

  19. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLate is the one thing a warning cannot be.

  20. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFair. What do the two sides say about it?

  21. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorKyiv says it received nothing. The president says the flow continues.

  22. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThose are the competing claims, and only one can match what happened on those nights.

  23. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhat should viewers watch for next?

  24. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhether a third night passes quietly, whether Washington says more, and whether Kyiv gets a clear answer on what was sent.

  25. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo: Kyiv says nothing arrived, Washington says it did, and we wait. Brock, is it at least dry out there?
