Zelenskyy urges new US sanctions on Russia after Trump pauses them

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged supporters to advocate for new U.S. sanctions on Russia after President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing the restrictions, raising fears Ukraine could face escalating assaults as winter approaches. Zelenskyy called the move unfortunate, saying it would encourage Russia to continue its attacks, though he avoided direct criticism of Trump. The paused legislation, named after late Sen. Lindsey Graham, targeted Russian officials, banks, and a shadow tanker fleet, and had bipartisan support. Trump told Congress the pause was in the national interest without details, drawing criticism from lawmakers who said it helps Putin. Russian overnight attacks killed four people in Ukraine, while Ukrainian drones killed one in Russia and disrupted flights at Moscow airports.
