WASHINGTON, October 19. /TASS/. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio attributed recent issues reported in Ukraine’s air defense systems to a software problem.

"I know a few nights ago there was a software problem involving their early warning system. I know that EUCOM [United States European Command] have been involved and looking at it," Rubio, currently on a visit in Samarkand, told reporters.

He denied the United States had paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine as Vladimir Zelensky claimed. "I don’t know where he’s getting these things from or why he’s saying these things to the press. You should go back and ask him. There’s been no pause," the top US diplomat said.
