Trump GUTS New Russia Sanctions—Zelenskyy Says It Won't Stop Putin
Thank You for Standing With Ukraine
https://ukrainesupportbridge.com/
Donald Trump has reportedly waived major provisions of Senator Lindsey Graham's Russia sanctions legislation, removing new economic pressure on Vladimir Putin just days before a critical implementation deadline. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded, and his warnings about sanctions, Ukraine's ability to defend itself, and new restrictions affecting Starlink raise serious questions about Washington's direction.
In this October 17 update, Greg Terry examines the reported sanctions waivers, including provisions targeting Russian energy, financial institutions, and countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. Zelenskyy explains why lifting pressure on Moscow will not stop Putin's war. He also reveals Ukrainian findings concerning Starlink speed restrictions that he says are disrupting frontline supply deliveries and drone interception capabilities. Ukrainian tests reportedly found different Starlink behavior inside the European Union, raising questions about who imposed the restrictions and why.
Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev then enters the picture with revealing statements about Russian-American economic cooperation, energy markets, and the Graham sanctions. Greg examines how Dmitriev's arguments align with the administration's stated economic interests and whether Moscow is succeeding in weakening Washington's relationship with Kyiv. Senator Tom Tillis also delivers a sharp bipartisan rebuke of the administration's sanctions decision.
The central question is no longer simply whether Washington wants peace. It is whether American policy is increasing pressure on the country that invaded Ukraine or weakening Ukraine's ability to resist that aggression.
