Zelensky Tells NPR the US Threatened to Suspend Intelligence Sharing Unless Ukraine Stopped Refinery Strikes: 'They Told My Generals, Not Me'

Sequence only, with date kinds.

• 2026-10-13 (interview publication date, per Hromadske; NPR original not read): Zelensky tells NPR the administration threatened to suspend intelligence sharing unless Kyiv stopped long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries; the warning was delivered to Ukrainian military commanders: “They told my generals, not me.”
• 2026-10-14 10:26 (reported date): Hromadske reports it. Zelensky did not say sharing had actually been suspended.

This is a first-hand Ukrainian confirmation of the threat reported in 2026-10-10–axios-us-envoys-threatened-ukraine-intelligence-cutoff-over-refinery-strikes-us-official-denies, delivered by a different channel (generals) than the Miami envoys of the Axios report; the sources do not say who delivered it. A US official had denied a threat on Oct 10. Nothing here shows a connecting call or a shared decision.
