Ukraine halts strikes on tankers using Russian port at US request, FT says
Ukraine agreed to avoid strikes on the route after a U.S. warning, and the pipeline carries about 80% of Kazakhstan’s oil exports, Reuters said.
- On July 31, Vice President Vance requested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky halt drone strikes against oil tankers and the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, The Financial Times reported.
- Washington intervened because strikes threatened energy market stability and the commercial interests of Chevron and ExxonMobil, which hold stakes in the "vital conduit of Kazakhstan-origin energy for European markets."
- A July 17 strike hit an Exxon-chartered ship waiting to load, and in February the State Department issued a démarche to former Ukrainian ambassador Olha Stefanishyna disapproving of Novorossiysk attacks.
- Ukrainian officials stated Zelensky agreed to the request, and Ukraine subsequently established "mechanisms" to avoid targeting non-Russian vessels in the Black Sea.
- Seeking a production license for Patriot missiles from Washington, Zelensky stressed the weapons are a "top priority" for Ukraine's air defense, reflecting the diplomatic trade-off.
