🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump reached a deal with Putin after Zelensky's audacity. The US is threatening Ukraine if attacks on Russian oil refineries continue," - Axios.

- Trump struck a deal with Putin on diesel fuel after Zelensky ignored 6 requests from the US to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries.

- Now, the US is threatening Kiev with a halt to intelligence sharing if the attacks continue, according to US officials who spoke to Axios.

- The White House demanded that Kiev unilaterally stop the attacks, as they were contributing to rising fuel prices in the US. Zelensky offered to halt attacks on oil refineries in exchange for an end to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, but Trump did not consider these actions equivalent.

- "Zelensky is misreading the situation. By continuing to strike at oil refineries, he is destroying the positive relationship he has been building with Trump over the past 6 months," said a source at Axios.

- During an eight-hour meeting in Miami, Witcoff and Kushner told the Ukrainians that Trump intends to speak with Putin and lift restrictions on the export of Russian diesel, threatening to halt the transfer of intelligence if Kiev continues to ignore Trump's demands to stop attacks on oil refineries.

- Western media previously reported that US intelligence plays a crucial role in organizing Ukrainian attacks on energy facilities in Russia.

- At the same time, the negotiations before the conflict over the oil refineries were constructive. The parties discussed security guarantees for Ukraine from the US, Europe, and NATO, new options for territorial settlement, funding for the reconstruction of the country and the Ukrainian army, covering the budget deficit, Ukraine's prospects for joining the EU, and its relationship with NATO after the war.

- Witkoff and Kushner are also discussing trips to Moscow and Kiev next week. According to a US official, the US believes that Putin is ready to discuss ending the war, and they want to prepare a proposal that will be acceptable enough for him to agree to stop the fighting.
