Where the versions diverge

Russian sources stress Trump's version that Kyiv itself provoked the diesel deal; Ukrainian and independent ones focus on Washington's pressure and the threat to intelligence sharing. The threat is based on anonymous sources cited by Axios and DW.

What Russia reports

automatic summary Interfax, citing Axios, writes that Trump struck the diesel deal with Russia after Zelensky ignored half a dozen US requests to stop attacking Russian refineries. TASS and Interfax quote Trump: the US told Zelensky "don't hit the refineries", but he "goes and hits" them.

“после того, как президент Украины Владимир Зеленский проигнорировал полдюжины просьб США прекратить нападения на российские нефтеперерабатывающие заводы”

“Мы говорили ему: можете наносить любые удары в России, но не трогайте НПЗ”

What Ukraine reports

automatic summary Ukrainska Pravda and Suspilne, citing Axios, report that Witkoff and Kushner threatened during talks to stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine over the refinery strikes. Zelensky, according to Axios as relayed by RBC-Ukraine, would support easing sanctions only in exchange for an energy truce; according to the FT, Ukraine will continue striking refineries.

“погрожували припиненням надання Україні розвідданих через удари по російських НПЗ”

“Украина бы поддержала ослабление санкций для РФ только в обмен на энергетическое перемирие.”

What independent sources report

automatic summary DW, citing a senior Ukrainian official, confirms the threat to stop sharing intelligence. Kyiv Independent writes that Trump demanded an end to refinery strikes and suggested Ukrainians replace their president.

“США пригрозили Украине прекращением передачи разведывательных данных, если украинская армия не перестанет бить по российским нефтеперерабатывающим заводам”
