Ukraine: Zelensky accuses Trump of rewarding and encouraging Putin

Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Donald Trump’s decision to suspend the implementation of new U.S. sanctions against Russia under the Graham Act. The Ukrainian president said the pause eases pressure on Moscow and risks encouraging Vladimir Putin to continue his attacks. Zelensky urged Kyiv’s allies to maintain pressure on Russia, while Moscow called the decision a “historic moment.” Kyiv has recently resumed strikes on Russian energy facilities as Russia continues attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
