Ukraine LIVE: Trump 'plans to lift Russia sanctions' after blistering attack on Zelensky
US President Donald Trump is considering lifting sanctions on Russia after announcing a pause on US military support to Ukraine, according to reports.
It emerged overnight that the President was halting aid to the war-torn Eastern European country until President Zelensky is willing to engage in what Trump views as good-faith negotations with the US.
An unnamed White House source told Reuters that Trump is also drawing up a plan to relieve sanctions on Russia in a bid to improve economic and diplomatic relations with the Kremlin.
It comes after Keir Starmer insisted that a European peace-keeping force in Ukraine would need "strong US backing" during a summit in London at the weekend.
