Representatives of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration threatened to halt the transfer of American intelligence to Ukraine if Kyiv continues to ignore Washington's demands to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries. Axios reported this, citing American and Ukrainian officials, UNN reports.
According to the American official, Trump repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries. However, Kyiv ignored about six such requests, after which the American president decided to allow purchases of Russian diesel fuel.
The publication's source claims that strikes on Russia's oil-refining infrastructure are contributing to rising fuel prices in the United States. At the same time, according to him, Trump does not consider Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries equivalent to Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy system.
Zelenskyy is misjudging the situation. By continuing to strike oil refineries, he is undermining the goodwill toward him that he has earned from Trump over the past six months— the American official said.
A Ukrainian official told Axios that during talks in Miami, U.S. presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner warned the Ukrainian side that it could be cut off from the American intelligence system if strikes on Russian oil refineries continued.
