Overview

• Officials cited by the Financial Times say U.S. intelligence has for months provided route, altitude, timing and target‑vulnerability data used in Ukrainian strikes on refineries deep inside Russia.
• Multiple outlets report the cooperation intensified over the summer following a shift in Trump’s posture after his talks with Vladimir Putin.
• Ukrainian attacks have damaged at least 16 of 38 Russian refining sites, disrupting more than one million barrels per day of capacity and triggering fuel management measures in Russia.
• Trump told reporters he could send Tomahawk cruise missiles if the war does not end, an option Kyiv has requested as it seeks longer‑range weapons and additional air‑defence systems.
• The Kremlin warned Tomahawk deliveries would be a dangerous escalation, while Selenskyj detailed thousands of recent Russian air strikes on Ukraine’s energy networks and urged stronger partner support.
