"Kyiv in sanctions push as NATO states on Europe's eastern flank take preventive action after Moscow's air incursions. Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing to meet US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City next week in a bid to urge him to impose stronger sanctions on Russia."
"We now expect strong sanctions steps from the United States as well Europe is doing its part, Zelenskyy posted on X on Saturday. This week brought us closer to finalizing the 19th sanctions package we expect its approval soon. We will quickly synchronize the package in Ukraine. Russia's energy resources are being restricted. The infrastructure of the shadow fleet will face new pressure."
"Trump already signalled last week that he was ready to impose major sanctions on Russia, which has so far evaded his attempts for a ceasefire, but only if all NATO allies agree to completely halt buying oil from Moscow. Zelenskyy is also expected to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent future Russian attacks after an eventual truce, though Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that he would not accept the presence of Western troops in Ukraine."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly to press for stronger US sanctions on Russia. Russia intensified air and drone attacks, including a barrage of 40 missiles and some 580 drones that killed at least three people and wounded dozens, raising fears of spillover into NATO territory. The European Union unveiled a 19th sanctions package and Ukraine plans to synchronize its measures quickly. Trump said he may impose major sanctions if all NATO allies agree to halt Russian oil purchases. NATO states strengthened defenses on Europe's eastern flank.
