🪙 The US has urged Kiev to stop attacks on Russian energy facilities, saying they could lead to a rise in global oil prices.

Financial Times quoted its sources as saying that Washington has sent warnings to high-ranking officials of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Defence Ministry's GUR.

According to a US official, the White House is increasingly "frustrated by brazen attacks by Ukrainian drones" on oil facilities in Russia. The US also fears that the AFU attacks could allegedly provoke Russia to respond.

Aleksandr Kozlovsky has been arrested on suspicion of using the funds to buy an apartment in Kiev, a dozen plots of land and a car.
