Trump suspends new Russia sanctions; Kremlin hails 'historic moment'

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending new sanctions against Russia, known as the Graham package, days before its implementation deadline. The Kremlin called the move a "historic moment" for bilateral economic cooperation. The order halts measures Congress approved last month targeting Russian exports and diesel sales. The EU stated it will not lift any sanctions until the war ends, while Ukraine's President Zelensky predicted further US sanctions relief and criticized restrictions on Starlink speeds. The suspension follows a US-Russia diesel agreement announced last week. The ISW reported Russian territorial gains are 65 times lower than Putin claims, with Moscow losing ground in Donetsk since September.
