Zelensky urges stronger sanctions after Trump eases Russia restrictions

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized US President Donald Trump's decision to ease sanctions against Russia, urging stronger pressure on the aggressor. He stated that weakening sanctions only encourages further attacks. Zelensky said the Graham Act could have helped end the war but must be enforced. He noted Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine's energy system, striking over 15 facilities and using more than 320 drones and missiles overnight. Trump suspended sanctions against major Russian oil and gas buyers on October 16, citing US national interests. This follows his October 11 deal with Putin on Russian oil supplies and criticism of Zelensky.
