The White House is reportedly developing a plan for possible sanctions relief for Russia, as sources indicate discussions are underway following the tumultuous relationship between former President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. Various reports suggest that the Trump administration is exploring the easing of sanctions as part of a broader strategy to restore ties with Moscow and potentially end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Despite this, Trump has extended existing sanctions for another year, citing security threats and ongoing aggression from Russia. The administration appears to be balancing the prospect of lifting sanctions against Russia while navigating diplomatic challenges and pressures from Europe, which is rallying around Ukraine.
