Lawmakers Unite Against White House Decision on Russia Sanctions
President Trump’s decision to waive sanctions on Russia has sparked outrage among Ukraine’s allies in Congress, who are considering blocking his policies in the lame-duck period. The move has been seen as a betrayal of Ukraine, which is fighting a war against Russian-backed separatists. Lawmakers are also concerned about the impact on the Starshield satellite internet service, which is experiencing slowdowns in Ukraine. The decision was first reported by POLITICO.
