The three people interviewed by Reuters denied earlier reports that the Americans threatened to cut intelligence sharing during the meeting. Separately, European officials told the Financial Times and CNN that Washington warned Kyiv and European capitals it could suspend intelligence sharing and European purchases of US weapons for Ukraine unless the strikes stopped. A NATO official said Monday that supplies through PURL, the mechanism through which allies purchase American weapons for Kyiv, continued to flow.
The Institute for the Study of War’s October 12 assessment said no energy ceasefire had been agreed and that Russia launched 121 drones overnight while Ukraine refrained from striking Russian refineries. Zelensky said Kyiv had halted attacks on all Russian energy facilities overnight because of Trump’s announcement, but Russia continued attacking Ukrainian gas and power infrastructure.
