+++ Ukraine-Krieg +++: Alarm wegen unbekannten Flugobjekts in Litauen und Lettland

Democratic and Republican members of Congress have condemned US President Donald Trump for suspending new sanctions against Russia. Republican Senator Thom Tillis wrote on X, "It's more irresponsible for this government to capitulate to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and daily murders innocent civilians." If Trump truly wanted to lower energy prices, he could do so by resolving the conflict with Iran, not by granting a favor to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

House Representative Don Bacon criticized Trump on X for prolonging the Russian aggression against Ukraine instead of ending it. Party colleague Senator John Cornyn shared an article about Trump's move on X and said, "Lindsey would be horrified." The US President had signed a sanctions package against Russia just over a month ago, named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham.

A trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the US, and Russia could take place at the G20 Summit in the US in December, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj. A meeting in a Middle Eastern or European country is also possible, he said. So far, there has been no confirmation from either the US or Russia. Zelenskyj also states that Ukrainian and US peace envoys may meet in the coming week.

Ukrainian representatives had discussed this with the US team on Friday. Europe needs an independent negotiation channel for talks with Russia as well.
