Zelenskyy urges support for new US sanctions on Russia after Trump puts them on hold
Zelenskyy said the waiver weakens pressure on Moscow as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid, with more than 15 sites hit overnight.
- On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged supporters to defend new U.S. sanctions against Russia, hours after President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing a sweeping package of restrictions targeting the Russian economy.
- Zelenskyy criticized the decision to disregard the Lindsey Graham Act, which was intended to impose effective pressure on Russia, stating, "This Act could have helped enormously — and still can!"
- Moscow carried out a massive strike on Ukraine's energy infrastructure Saturday, targeting more than 15 sites across the country, as the sheer scale of Russia's unrelenting attacks continues to have severe consequences.
- Russian forces launched four cruise missiles and 332 attack drones overnight, though Ukrainian air force officials confirmed that all missiles and 289 of the drones were successfully suppressed or destroyed.
- As winter approaches, officials warn that Russia is stockpiling ballistic missiles for upcoming attacks, raising fears that Ukraine could remain exposed to escalating assaults as power grids face continued targeting.
