- Zelensky on Saturday expressed openness to engaging in U.S.-led negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war, declaring "The American negotiating track will continue"
- Trump placed a hold on Russian sanctions days before they were set to go into effect, removing imminent punitive measures just as Ukraine signaled willingness to talk
Why it matters: Trump's last-minute pause on sanctions that were about to take effect strips Kyiv of imminent leverage at the negotiating table — Ukraine is expressing readiness to engage precisely as the pressure tools the U.S. had queued up get shelved, with no reciprocal concession from Russia cited in the source.
