Most countries have not joined sanctions against Russia and understand they harm the world economy and prosperity, special representative of the Russian president for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriev said

Analysts assert that Russia is expected to derive the primary advantage from the recent US sanctions waiver. This assessment remains a forward-looking opinion rather than a confirmed economic outcome.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly waived additional sanctions on Russia, with the stated objective of mitigating energy price volatility. This decision has been characterized by observers as an effort to ease economic pressures, though the long-term geopolitical implications remain under evaluation.

The US president signed an executive order two days prior to a scheduled sanctions deadline and one week following a reported diesel agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The timing of this action has drawn attention to its relationship with these recent diplomatic and economic developments.
