  "summary": "Ukraine reports that speed limits on Starlink are still hindering military operations against Russian drones. This follows a sudden network slowdown that Kyiv characterized as deliberate, though Washington denied ordering the action, according to France 24 Business.\n\nUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Saturday that President Donald Trump's decision to waive sanctions and tariffs on Russia will last for 60 days. France 24 reports that this move has drawn bipartisan criticism and caused concerns in Ukraine that Washington might ease further restrictions on Moscow.\n\nHandelsblatt reports that Trump paused planned new sanctions intended to curb Russian oil and gas exports, which are used to fund the war in Ukraine, following a phone call with Vladimir Putin. In addition to pausing these sanctions, Trump announced a diesel deal where Russia would provide hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel for the US and the global market.",
