Zelenskyy criticizes Trump's waiver of sanctions on Russia as 'wrong'
Zelenskiy said the waiver weakens pressure on Russia and could lead to more attacks, after Moscow struck more than 15 Ukrainian energy sites, he said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order waiving Russia-related sanctions and tariffs scheduled to take effect next week under the Graham Act.
- Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 in mid-September to increase pressure on Russia for its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, mandating tariffs of up to 100% on major energy importers.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy criticized the waiver on Saturday, writing that it 'definitely helps only the Russians' and emboldens Russian President Vladimir Putin to continue striking power infrastructure.
- Representative Don Beyer called the decision a 'surrender to Putin,' while Russia's investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, praised the waiver as a 'truly historic moment' preventing economic cooperation collapse.
- Republicans navigate midterm election pressure amid concerns regarding rising oil prices, as Senator Darline Graham stated she would not have waived the sanctions despite Trump's endorsement of her Senate campaign.
