Trump temporarily eases trade restrictions on Russian oil, Zelenskyy protests
Videos
Some American lawmakers and experts criticized the deal. According to critics, easing the trade restrictions weakens the sanctions pressure on Moscow and could support Russia's war effort. The decision also raised questions about the future direction of American policy toward Russia. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that this is neither peace nor a ceasefire. According to him, money from the sale of Russian oil could go toward financing the war against Ukraine. According to media reports, Putin reportedly told Trump that Russia does not intend to end the war. postoj.sk ↗
Shortly after the deal was announced, Ukrainian drones attacked the Yug oil terminal in the Rostov region. According to Russian authorities, more than a hundred drones attacked the terminal, and a large fire broke out at the site. At the same time, after the deal, Russian attacks in Ukraine claimed the lives of seven people. idnes.cz ↗
Further developments will depend on the scale and duration of the permitted deliveries, as well as on whether Washington maintains or once again tightens sanctions against Moscow.
