U.S. envoys warned Kyiv that refinery strikes could jeopardize intelligence sharing, Financial Times reports, as Washington presses Ukraine to halt attacks
U.S. officials warned Ukraine that continued strikes on Russian oil refineries could lead Washington to suspend intelligence sharing, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the talks. The reported threat concerned intelligence, not a cutoff of arms shipments.
The warning was raised by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during talks with a Ukrainian delegation in Miami on Friday, according to the report. Three people familiar with the meeting said the discussion shifted after the Ukrainian team learned of President Donald Trump’s announcement of a diesel-supply arrangement with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Separately, Axios reported that a U.S. official said Trump made the diesel deal after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ignored repeated U.S. requests to stop the refinery attacks.
The Financial Times has previously reported U.S. requests for Ukraine to curb attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Kyiv has used strikes on Russian refineries as part of its campaign against targets supporting Moscow’s war effort.
