According to the publication, Washington made a firm demand to halt attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure. This concerns not a partial restriction of cooperation, but a possible complete suspension of intelligence sharing.
The newspaper’s source claims that the American warnings were exceptionally broad and reached a wide range of contacts connected to Ukraine.
U.S. warnings reached an unprecedented scale
The warnings were so extensive that everyone whose surname sounded Ukrainian received a call
The report came amid tensions surrounding Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy facilities. Earlier, the Financial Times wrote that representatives of Donald Trump’s administration had also threatened to suspend the PURL mechanism, under which European allies purchase American weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is currently unknown whether Washington has made any decision to restrict intelligence cooperation. The cited report contains no official confirmation that such threats have been implemented.
