With tears taking center stage, the Russian/Ukraine war is more on the back burner once again. There was supposed to be a cease-fire at least on infrastructure/energy targets. Ukraine Pres. Zelenskyy is saying that is not the case:
- Ukraine will give US evidence of Russia violating cease-fire.
- Expects reaction from Washington as promised.
My guess is that Washington will jump. Focus was supposed shift toward tariffs. Nevertheless, the US may increase sanctions to continue to squeeze toward some sort of a long-range peace objective.
PS… Bloomberg is reporting that the US is reportedly seeking to control infrastructure investment in Ukraine, and all investment in Ukraine resources.
