White House explains Trump's refusal to sanction Russia

mk.ru (Russian) —

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said sanctions against Russia would hinder US efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, explaining President Donald Trump's refusal to impose restrictions under a law passed in September. Rogers stated that applying sanctions provisions now would impede Washington's current push for a durable and comprehensive peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia. Trump has made clear he wants to end the conflict while reserving the right to use those powers anytime if it serves national interests. Earlier, Trump accused former President Joe Biden of distributing weapons to Ukraine, adding context to the administration's stance on the ongoing conflict.
