Zelensky warns Trump's Russia sanctions suspension is 'only the beginning'

hotnews.ro (Romanian) —

Russian sovereign fund head Kirill Dmitriev called Trump's suspension of major US sanctions on Russia a "historic" moment, while Ukrainian President Zelensky warned it is only the beginning and will encourage Moscow. Trump signed a decree Friday lifting sweeping US sanctions and tariffs on Russia's energy sector, two days before they were to take effect. The measure, known as the Graham law, targeted Russian energy, defense, and officials including Putin. Zelensky said the decision came as Russia struck 15 key power infrastructure sites in Ukraine, calling it an encouragement for further attacks. He appealed to EU leaders for an additional 70 billion dollars in support.
