Reuters said the FT report concerned the PURL procurement mechanism used by allies to buy US weapons for Ukraine. Reuters could not independently verify the account, and the White House did not immediately respond to its request for comment.

The report followed President Donald Trump’s announcement of an “energy ceasefire”; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Kyiv was waiting for further details. No suspension of the procurement channel was confirmed in the Reuters report.
