US sanctions and aid to Ukraine
U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law imposing broad sanctions on Russia due to its ongoing war in Ukraine. The measures include tariffs of up to 100% on major Russian oil and gas buyers, targeting the energy and defense sectors, as well as senior officials such as President Vladimir Putin. Washington also approved the sale of $2.68 billion worth of missile defense equipment to Ukraine to strengthen its ability to counter Russian attacks, at a time when Ukraine’s air defenses are experiencing a shortage of ammunition. Moscow responded by announcing the need to use a "language of direct military deterrence" in reaction to the sanctions, promising to take military measures to deter them, while cyberattacks were launched against the electronic voting system in Moscow during the legislative elections.
