US Threatens to Cut Intel, Weapons to Press Ukraine Into Peace Deal: Sources

Ukraine is facing greater pressure from Washington to agree to the framework of a U.S.-brokered peace deal with Russia than in previous negotiation efforts, including threats to cease provision of intelligence and weapons, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

One of the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the U.S. wanted Ukraine to sign a framework of the deal by next Thursday.
