Trump Considers Russia Sanctions Amid Ukraine Infrastructure Attacks

President Trump stated on Friday he is "strongly considering" sanctions against Russia due to its ongoing attacks on Ukraine. He urged both Russia and Ukraine to negotiate immediately. This follows a large-scale Russian attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure using missiles and drones, which severely impacted electricity supply. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is seeking a partial ceasefire and has requested EU support to test Moscow's willingness to end the invasion. Kyiv may present its peace plan to U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia next week. Trump also threatened Russia with new banking sanctions and tariffs if military actions against Ukraine do not cease and a final peace agreement is not reached.
