Ukraine war: Trump signs package of sanctions against Russia
The US Congress wants to put pressure on aggressor Russia in the Ukraine war with far-reaching sanctions. They have now cleared the final hurdle.
US President Donald Trump has signed a law imposing new sanctions on Russia, as announced by the White House in Washington. The law, named after Senator Lindsey Graham, aims to pressure Russia over the Ukraine conflict and targets Russian politicians, firms, and energy exports. It allows Trump to sanction countries that help Russia evade energy sanctions, potentially affecting US trade relations with China and India.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Trump for signing the law, saying its implementation would be a fitting tribute to Graham's memory. Moscow had warned that further sanctions would hinder peace efforts in Ukraine.
