- Trump issued an executive order waiving more Russia sanctions in a stated bid to lower energy prices.
- Ukraine and EU allies condemned the waiver, which the article ties to a widening rift between Trump and Zelenskyy.
Why it matters: The waiver subordinates Ukraine policy and allied coordination to domestic energy-price goals, handing Moscow a sanctions reprieve while giving Zelenskyy and EU governments fresh grounds to publicly break with Washington.
