Zelensky: Easing sanctions on Russian oil makes not very logical

(Clea Caulcutt – Politico) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday criticized the Trump administration’s decision to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian oil in an effort to bring down energy prices. The U.S. temporarily lifted some of its Russia sanctions late Thursday, as the conflict in the Middle East drags on, allowing the delivery and sale of Russian oil stranded at sea. “The lifting of sanctions means that [Russia] will receive more money and there will be more drone attacks” in the Middle East, Zelenskyy said, standing alongside French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. “It’s not very logical.” – ‘Not very logical’: Zelenskyy blasts US for easing Russia sanctions – POLITICO
