US Threatens to Block Arms for Ukraine over Refinery Attacks, FT Reports

Washington reportedly warned it could cut off weapons and intelligence as 5.5 billion dollars in pledged PURL funding hangs in the balance, officials said.

  • On Sunday, the Financial Times reported that U.S. officials threatened to terminate intelligence sharing and the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List to pressure Kyiv to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries.
  • President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on Sunday, which he stated is "effective immediately," though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he remains awaiting details.
  • U.S. officials are lobbying European capitals to end the refinery strikes, while Washington announced a suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel on Friday, which reportedly offers Moscow limited revenue benefits.
  • A Ukrainian official stated that U.S. threats regarding arms and intelligence have "ruin the trust completely." Reuters could not immediately verify the report, and The White House provided no comment.
  • The ultimatum marks an escalation in U.S. efforts to force a cessation of attacks, which Washington fears could destabilize global energy markets and provoke Russian retaliation, creating operational uncertainty.
