US reportedly threatens to halt weapons purchases and intelligence sharing for Ukraine

The United States has reportedly threatened to stop a program used to buy US weapons for Ukraine and to suspend intelligence sharing.

The warnings were made in phone calls to Kyiv and European capitals on October 10 and 11, according to unnamed European officials cited by the Financial Times.

The reported pressure is linked to Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

The warnings involve Ukraine’s government under President Volodymyr Zelensky and US support for the country.

The White House declined to confirm or comment on the calls, according to the Financial Times.

US President Donald Trump said earlier on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed not to attack energy facilities.

The sources do not say whether the threatened US measures will be imposed or what happens next.
