US pressures Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries

US officials have stepped up pressure on Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, threatening to cut off vital intelligence sharing if Kyiv continues the strikes, according to a Financial Times report. The demand reflects Washington's concern that the attacks are driving up global oil prices and risk escalation, while Ukraine views the refineries as key targets undermining Russia's war economy. The reported threat has drawn attention to growing friction between the two allies over military strategy.
Why now: A new Financial Times report on US threats to withhold intelligence from Ukraine has reignited debate over allied friction in the war.
