US pushes Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, warns of intelligence-sharing risk
US President Donald Trump is pressing Ukraine to stop long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries, fearing further rises in US fuel prices ahead of November midterm elections. During talks in Miami, US representatives warned that continued strikes could jeopardize American intelligence sharing with Ukraine, prompting the Ukrainian delegation to cut the talks short on Friday. The pressure comes alongside a separate US-Russia deal to restore Russian diesel exports to global markets.
