Trump suspends Russia sanctions to keep peace talks alive

US President Donald Trump suspended several Russian sanctions on his Truth Social platform, stating the move aims to keep Moscow at the negotiating table for peace talks. The decision came amid a deepening row with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who recently criticized siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "historic mistake". Trump also claimed Zelensky "doesn't want to end this war" and suggested the Ukrainian leader could have made a better deal two years ago.
