Zelensky says Trump waiving sanctions ‘rewards’ Putin
Volodymyr Zelensky also warned Moscow was trying to deprive 'millions' of Ukrainians of heat and electricity before winter.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized US President Donald Trump's decision to waive sanctions on Russia, stating it rewards Vladimir Putin. Trump's executive order, named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, targeted Russia's energy and defense sectors, as well as Putin and the so-called "shadow fleet" of tankers used to evade Western sanctions.
Zelensky expressed concern that the decision, made amid a clash with the Ukrainian wartime leader, would financially reward Putin and encourage further aggression. He warned that Russia was attempting to deprive millions of Ukrainians of heat and electricity before winter. Zelensky urged allies to maintain pressure on Moscow to end the war, emphasizing that the decision could have significantly contributed to ending the conflict.
