US threatens to suspend intel sharing, weapons purchases if Ukraine continues Russia energy strikes, sources say消息人士称,如果乌克兰继续对俄罗斯发动能源袭击,美国威胁将暂停情报共享和武器采购。
The Trump administration has warned Ukraine and allies in Europe that the US could suspend intelligence sharing and European purchases of US weapons for Ukraine if Kyiv does not halt its deep strikes on Russian energy facilities, two European officials told CNN.
The Trump administration has warned Ukraine and allies in Europe that the US could suspend intelligence sharing and European purchases of US weapons for Ukraine if Kyiv does not halt its deep strikes on Russian energy facilities, two European officials told CNN.
The warnings from the State Department and the Pentagon were sent over the weekend to officials in Ukraine and Europe, including communications from the US military directly to Ukrainian commanders.
Another source familiar with the matter said the US threatened to cut intelligence sharing.
The Financial Times was the first to report the threats to end intel sharing and weapons purchases. CNN has reached out to the Department of Defense, the State Department and the White House for comment.
The threats come as President Donald Trump has been fuming at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over attacks on Russian refineries, CNN previously reported .
Trump has long blamed the rise in global diesel prices on the Ukraine-Russia war and demanded that both sides halt attacks on energy facilities. Those high prices have also been exacerbated by the US’ war with Iran.
Earlier Sunday, Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine agreed to what he described as an “energy ceasefire,” a development that a source close to Zelensky said was a surprise.
“Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side,” Zelensky wrote on X after the announcement.
A European official told CNN that intelligence sharing and weapons purchases are “vital” to Ukraine, describing the threat as a “sad day” for Kyiv and its allies.
If acted upon, the suspension would have an immediate impact on Ukraine’s defenses.
Intelligence provided by the US helps Ukraine to defend against Russian ballistic missile attacks, by providing the locations of missile launchers and data on where the strikes are heading, and when. Suspending weapons purchases — which take place via the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, mechanism — would have the most damaging effect on shipments of Patriot interceptor missiles, which Ukraine is already desperately short of as Russia has expanded its missile and drone attacks across the country.
NATO had not yet seen a change to the PURL program over the weekend, another European official told CNN. The Trump administration previously suspended intelligence sharing with Ukraine in March 2025 following a contentious meeting in the Oval Office between Zelensky and Trump. The US later restored intelligence sharing after Ukraine accepted a proposed US ceasefire following talks in Saudi Arabia.
The threats are sure to further complicate the tenuous relationship between Trump and Zelensky.
The pair have sparred in recent days over a US deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply markets with Russian diesel. Ukraine’s continued refinery attacks were part of what led Trump to strike the deal, a US official previously told CNN.
Trump on Saturday suggested Ukraine should get a new leader and replace Zelensky.

两名欧洲官员告诉 CNN,特朗普政府已警告乌克兰及其欧洲盟友,如果基辅不停止对俄罗斯能源设施的纵深打击,美国可能会暂停情报共享以及欧洲向乌克兰购买美国武器。
美国国务院和五角大楼的警告已于周末发送给乌克兰和欧洲的官员,其中包括美国军方直接向乌克兰指挥官发出的通信。
另一位知情人士表示,美国威胁要削减情报共享。
《金融时报》率先报道了终止情报共享和武器采购的威胁。CNN已联系国防部、国务院和白宫寻求置评。
据 CNN 此前报道,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基袭击俄罗斯炼油厂的行为感到愤怒,而这些威胁正是在此背景下发出的。
特朗普长期以来一直将全球柴油价格上涨归咎于乌克兰-俄罗斯战争,并要求双方停止对能源设施的袭击。美国与伊朗的战争也加剧了高油价。
周日早些时候,特朗普宣布俄罗斯和乌克兰同意达成他所谓的“能源停火”,泽连斯基的一位消息人士称,这一进展令人惊讶。
“乌克兰支持停火,俄罗斯也必须支持停火。我们正在等待美方提供更多细节,”泽连斯基在宣布停火后通过X网站写道。
一位欧洲官员告诉 CNN,情报共享和武器采购对乌克兰“至关重要”,并称这一威胁对基辅及其盟友来说是“悲哀的一天”。
如果暂停行动得以实施,将对乌克兰的国防产生直接影响。
美国提供的情报帮助乌克兰防御俄罗斯的弹道导弹袭击,包括导弹发射阵地的位置以及袭击的落点和时间。暂停武器采购——这些采购是通过“乌克兰优先需求清单”(PURL)机制进行的——将对“爱国者”拦截导弹的交付造成最严重的打击,而乌克兰目前已经严重缺乏这种导弹,因为俄罗斯已扩大了在该国的导弹和无人机袭击范围。
另一位欧洲官员告诉CNN,北约周末尚未发现PURL计划有任何变化。此前,在泽连斯基和特朗普于椭圆形办公室举行了一次充满争议的会晤后,特朗普政府暂停了与乌克兰的情报共享,暂停期至2025年3月。后来,在沙特阿拉伯举行的会谈后,乌克兰接受了美国提出的停火方案,美国随后恢复了与乌克兰的情报共享。
这些威胁势必会进一步加剧特朗普和泽连斯基之间本就脆弱的关系。
近日,美俄两国就美国与俄罗斯总统普京达成的向市场供应俄罗斯柴油的协议展开了激烈争论。一位美国官员此前告诉CNN,乌克兰持续不断的炼油厂袭击是促使特朗普达成这项协议的部分原因。
特朗普周六建议乌克兰应该更换领导人,取代泽连斯基。
