Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized Donald Trump's decision to suspend sanctions on Russia, suggesting it may embolden the Kremlin and worsen the ongoing war in Ukraine. This warning comes as Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian power plants, aiming to disrupt energy supplies ahead of winter.
Zelenskyy called for renewed support for the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to impose tougher sanctions on Russia. He emphasized the need for effective measures to pressure Moscow, especially as Ukraine faces significant challenges in defending its energy infrastructure from ongoing strikes.
Watch for potential shifts in U.S. policy as Zelenskyy rallies support for the Lindsey Graham Act. The effectiveness of sanctions on Russia could hinge on bipartisan backing in Congress, especially as winter approaches and energy infrastructure remains vulnerable.
