Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has criticized the United States for failing to impose tough sanctions on Russia.
According to Globalinfo.az, the minister shared his remarks on the social media platform X.
“If the Russians are cheering yesterday’s decisions in the US, this clearly shows a lack of effective pressure to end the war,” Sybiha wrote.
He stated that “indecision” sends the wrong signal and prolongs the conflict.
The minister argued that any serious engagement with the Russians begins with real pressure and a demonstration of strength.
“Moscow does not respect threats and delayed decisions; it does not take such steps seriously,” he stressed.
Notably, the White House website published an executive order by US President Donald Trump declining to implement the “hellish sanctions against Russia” outlined in legislation proposed by Lindsey Graham.
The bill passed by the US Congress on September 16 provides for 100 percent tariffs on countries buying the most Russian oil and gas, as well as on nations helping Moscow evade sanctions.
Additionally, the initiative entails imposing 500 percent tariffs on Russian goods.
