US warned Ukraine not to hit US interests in strikes on Russia energy infrastructure, envoy says

The U.S. State Department issued a formal diplomatic notice to Ukraine after a Ukrainian drone strike on Novorossiysk port disrupted Kazakh oil exports linked to American companies.

  • On Feb 24, the U.S. State Department told the Ukrainian government to refrain from hitting U.S. interests, Reuters reported from Washington.
  • Most of Kazakhstan's oil flows through Novorossiysk port, which briefly halted its November exports after a Ukrainian drone attack, linking regional energy to U.S. economic interests.
  • Olha Stefanishyna described the message as a demarche and said Ukraine had taken note, while the U.S. State Department declined to comment.
  • Stefanishyna urged U.S. Congress to pass a sanctions bill, expecting bipartisan support and President Trump’s signature, to enable further measures against Russia.
  • Amid stalled diplomacy, Kyiv is pushing to deepen U.S. economic links, with Stefanishyna describing the U.S. message as a demarche and Kyiv taking note, according to sources.
