Zelensky slams U.S. pause on Russia sanctions as Moscow strikes power grid

nypost.com —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the U.S. decision to pause new Russia sanctions as Moscow launched over 320 drones, missiles, and munitions against Ukraine's energy sector. Zelensky said the move to disregard the Lindsey Graham Act, signed by President Trump, came during a massive Russian attack and urged voices in support of the sanctions. Trump waived the measures, citing U.S. national interest. The waived provisions would have imposed tariffs up to 100% on major Russian oil importers and 500% on Russian goods. Trump also plans to buy Russian diesel, which Zelensky said funds Moscow's war effort.
