Another Trump blow for Kyiv. He is considering lifting key sanctions

The Trump administration is considering lifting sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund, which has been involved in restoring Russian oil supplies to the U.S. The fund, led by Kirill Dmitriev, is seen as a key intermediary in negotiations. The potential removal of sanctions aims to improve U.S.-Russia relations and address rising fuel prices in the U.S. amid upcoming congressional elections. However, this move faces opposition from some members of Congress, including Republicans, who question the trustworthiness of Putin. Additionally, discussions about resuming Russian gas supplies to Europe are ongoing, despite existing sanctions and resistance from Germany.
