The US is threatening to halt the procurement system that supplies Ukraine with weapons to pressure the country into stopping its attacks on Russian energy facilities, according to a report by the Financial Times. European officials stated that the US is actively reaching out to European governments and Kyiv to discuss ending these strikes.
The US has signaled potential cuts to intelligence sharing and the mechanism for procuring weapons for Ukraine, as detailed in the report. An official mentioned that US defense officials are contacting various European leaders about this issue.
This report follows a surprising announcement by US President Donald Trump about an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine, which he claimed was effective immediately, although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he is still awaiting details of the deal.
