🇺🇦 Zelensky: It is important to continue to put pressure on Russian networks of influence, as well as on all their production and trade operations.

Trump starting to get it?: “Putin might not want to stop the war, he’s just deceiving me — we need to talk to him through sanctions.” “He’s shelling civilian cities for no reason — maybe it’s time to act through ‘banking operations’ and ‘secondary sanctions’,” he stressed. Did he finally wake up
