Trump, Ukraine and Europe target Russian energy as diplomacy falters
AI Summary
The European Union is set to adopt new sanctions against Russian energy exports, following a similar move by US President Donald Trump. The sanctions come as Russia and Ukraine intensify their attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, with Ukraine targeting refineries and gas processing facilities in an effort to disrupt Moscow's economy and war machine. Despite losing territory, Ukraine remains resilient on the battlefield, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stating that Russia's army is weak due to economic losses and casualties. Trump had previously proposed a ceasefire along existing lines of control, but it was rejected by Russia. Ukraine has successfully struck Russian energy infrastructure 58 times since August, causing significant disruptions to Moscow's economy. The sanctions are part of a broader effort to pressure Russia into negotiating with Ukraine.
