According to European officials cited by CCTV, the United States allegedly pressured Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries by threatening to halt intelligence sharing and restrict the weapons supply mechanism; the White House declined to comment.
Zelenskyy says Russian forces attacked Ukrainian energy facilities and violated the energy ceasefire arrangement, urging the United States to promote implementation of the agreement; Russia has not responded.
A White House official said that the Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire remains a potential agreement and that both sides may first stop attacking refineries. The official also said that the attacks could heighten tensions between Trump and Zelensky.
