US officials warned Ukraine that Washington would stop sharing intelligence if Kyiv continued long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, according to “NPR”.
In an interview released late Tuesday, Zelenskyy said he had learned about US President Donald Trump’s announcement of an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine through social media.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine was targeting Russian energy and logistics sites to weaken Moscow’s ability to wage war. Kyiv would not suspend those strikes unless Russia stopped attacking Ukrainian energy facilities, he said.
He also rejected claims that Ukraine was responsible for rising diesel prices, saying prices had increased because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Zelenskyy argued that the Trump administration’s temporary easing of sanctions on Russian diesel would not bring prices down because the available volume was insufficient.
Trump announced on Sunday on “Truth Social” that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate ceasefire on attacks against each other’s energy infrastructure.
Zelenskyy told “Axios” earlier on Sunday that Ukraine was prepared to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries if Moscow halted attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He said any de-escalation had to be reciprocal and supported by guarantees.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that Moscow had no immediate comment on the proposed halt, while contacts with the United States on the issue were continuing.
