Kremlin praises Trump's suspension of new US sanctions package

The Kremlin praised President Donald Trump's decision to suspend a new US sanctions package targeting the Russian economy, a move made against the will of the US Congress. Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev called the suspension a "truly historic moment" in bilateral relations, following Trump's decree halting the legislation named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, which aimed to restrict financial flows supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. The decision comes a week after Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel to lower global energy prices, potentially undermining Ukraine. The administration had remained silent after Congress passed the bill with bipartisan support, urged by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
