US may halt intel sharing over refinery strikes - Zelenskyy
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump warned that it could halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine if Ukraine does not stop strikes on Russian oil refineries, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with NPR.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in an NPR interview that the U.S. administration, under President Donald Trump, has warned that it may halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine if the latter continues to strike Russian oil refineries. Zelenskyy rejected Trump's claim that Ukraine is responsible for rising diesel fuel prices, attributing the increase to the ongoing war involving Iran.
He emphasized that Ukraine targets Russian energy and logistics facilities to weaken the Kremlin's ability to continue its war efforts. The Ukrainian leader expressed Ukraine's desire to end the conflict but reiterated that they will maintain these strikes until Russia ceases its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
