Trump suspends new sanctions against Russia, Zelensky asks EU for help
The measures allowed for tariffs of up to 150 percent to be imposed on major buyers of Russian oil or natural gas. Trump's move also opens the way for supplies of Russian diesel to the American and global markets. According to the available description, however, the partial easing of sanctions alone may not lead to lower fuel prices or to Vladimir Putin's return to the negotiating table with Ukraine. e15.cz ↗
Washington's decision has raised concerns about further support for Kyiv. Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is losing a strong partner and rejected criticism from the American president. He also asked the European Union for 70 billion euros for defense against Russia. Welt ↗
Leaders of EU member states in Brussels pledged Ukraine full support in its fight against Russia. However, the method of financing this aid remains open. European countries thus face the need to align political support for Kyiv with concrete financial and defense commitments. Der Standard ↗
The suspension of sanctions could boost Russian energy exports and increase pressure on Europe to take on a greater share of responsibility for supporting Ukraine. Further developments will depend on decisions in Washington, Moscow's response, and negotiations within the European Union. El Pais ↗
