Trump suspends Russia sanctions; Kremlin calls it 'historic moment'

dn.pt (Portuguese) —

President Trump signed a decree on Friday suspending a new comprehensive sanctions package against Russia, citing national interest, a decision the Kremlin hailed as a "historic moment" in bilateral relations. The suspended legislation, named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, aimed to restrict financial flows fueling Russia's war in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the move, arguing it rewards Moscow's aggression and encourages continued attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The decision follows Trump's announcement of a deal with Vladimir Putin for Russian diesel deliveries to lower global energy prices. Zelensky urged allies to maintain pressure on Russia, noting Moscow launched a massive strike on Ukrainian energy facilities on the same day.
