US threatens to suspend intel sharing, weapons purchases if Ukraine continues Russia energy strikes, sources say

The Trump administration has warned Ukraine and allies in Europe that the US could suspend intelligence sharing and European purchases of US weapons for Ukraine if Kyiv does not halt its deep strikes on Russian energy facilities, two European officials told CNN.

The warnings from the State Department and the Pentagon were sent over the weekend to officials in Ukraine and Europe, including communications from the US military directly to Ukrainian commanders.

Another source familiar with the matter said the US threatened to cut intelligence sharing.

The Financial Times was the first to report the threats to end intel sharing and weapons purchases. CNN has reached out to the Department of Defense, the State Department and the White House for comment.

The threats come as President Donald Trump has been fuming at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over attacks on Russian refineries, CNN previously reported.

Trump has long blamed the rise in global diesel prices on the Ukraine-Russia war and demanded that both sides halt attacks on energy facilities. Those high prices have also been exacerbated by the US’ war with Iran.

Earlier Sunday, Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine agreed to what he described as an “energy ceasefire,” a development that a source close to Zelensky said was a surprise.

“Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side,” Zelensky wrote on X after the announcement.
