Oil Port in St. Petersburg Hit by Ukrainian Drone Strikes

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order halting congressional sanctions against Russia for 60 days, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The sanctions, including 100 percent tariffs on major Russian oil importers, were set to take effect Sunday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the decision, stating it benefits Russia and encourages continued aggression. The pause allows the administration to analyze economic impacts of sanctions and tariffs on global and US markets. Separately, Ukrainian drone attacks disrupted flights at Moscow and St. Petersburg airports for a sixth consecutive night. Sweden announced 522 million kronor in civilian aid to Ukraine for winter needs, while Pope Leo XIV urged Putin to allow humanitarian access to occupied Oleshky.
