US urges Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure

The United States has urged Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, warning that drone strikes risk provoking retaliation and driving up global oil prices, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The attacks helped boost oil prices, which have risen nearly 4% so far since March 12, when Ukraine first started targeting Russia's energy infrastructure. 

A further rally in gasoline prices in the United States would weaken President Joe Biden's ratings and undermine his re-election chances.

Russia and Ukraine have both used drones to strike critical infrastructure, military installations and troop concentrations in their more than two-year war, with Kyiv hitting Russian refineries and energy facilities in recent months.
