President Trump has unilaterally suspended or blocked new and existing congressional sanctions against Russia, including those targeting oil buyers and diesel transactions, citing national interest and energy price relief. This policy reversal, confirmed by multiple sources, has been met with strong criticism from a bipartisan group in Congress who view it as a betrayal of Ukraine. The full scope and duration of the suspensions remain unclear, but Moscow has hailed the move as historic.
