U.S. warned Ukraine on intelligence sharing over refinery strikes at Miami talks

During U.S.-Ukrainian talks in Miami on October 10, envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner cautioned President Donald Trump that Washington could suspend Kyiv's access to U.S. intelligence if Ukraine persists in targeting Russian oil refineries, according to Axios. The warning came following a deal between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which involves supplying Russian diesel fuel to U.S. and global markets, aimed at reducing prices.

However, a U.S. official denied the assertion of threat from the Americans. The official stated that Witkoff and Kushner emphasized the reliability of the U.S. as a partner, providing ammunition and intelligence, and warned the Ukrainians against actions that could "hurt American consumers." The main focus of the Miami talks was to finalize security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a war-ending deal, along with discussing territorial arrangements, post-war measures, Ukraine's EU accession, NATO relations, and the creation of a postwar security system.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty correspondent Alex Raufoglu reported that the Miami talks concluded earlier than scheduled, having been planned for two days on October 9 and 10. The Financial Times previously noted that Ukraine plans to continue attacking Russian refineries despite Trump's agreement with Putin on diesel fuel supply.
