Zelensky slams Trump's temporary suspension of Russia sanctions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Donald Trump's executive order temporarily suspending sanctions against Russia, calling the decision harmful to Ukraine and urging continued pressure on Moscow. Zelensky said the suspension ignores the Lindsey Graham law, named after the late Republican senator, which was designed to tighten sanctions on Russia's economy and military. He noted Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine's energy sector Friday, hitting over 15 critical facilities. The Ukrainian leader warned Russia aims to cause blackouts before winter, leaving millions without power or heat. He referenced a bipartisan bill introduced Friday by Democrat Gregory Meeks to block imports of Russian diesel, emphasizing that easing pressure only encourages Putin to prolong the war.
