As Trump suddenly gives relief to Putin, desperate Zelensky announces own sanctions; Russia laughs?

President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Ukraine and EU partners are preparing a 20th sanctions package targeting Russia, expected within a month. Zelensky called for this package to include Russian legal entities and individuals profiting from energy resources, as well as those connected to the abduction of Ukrainian children and the military supply chain enabling Russian weapons. He urged doubling down on closing loopholes that allow critical foreign components into Russian missiles and drones. Zelensky emphasized that only intensive, coordinated pressure—politically and economically—can strip Moscow of the ability to prosecute its war and force accountability for atrocities committed against Ukrainian civilians.
