Republicans and Democrats condemn Trump’s decision to suspend sanctions, saying it undermines support for Ukraine.

Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry underlined that real progress on this path may be achieved only through carefully balanced, step-by-step measures

Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, stated that most countries have not joined sanctions against Russia, arguing that such measures harm the global economy. This characterization of international consensus and economic impact is a claim made by the official and has not been independently verified.

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.
