Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev on Saturday described US President Donald Trump's decision to waive a new package of sanctions against Russia as a truly historic moment. The comments from the Russian official came just hours after the US leader signed an executive order halting the implementation of the fresh punitive measures against Moscow.
Writing on the social media platform X, Dmitriev specifically pointed to the Trump administration's suspension of the Graham Act as a significant development in bilateral relations. His public reaction underscores Moscow's favorable view of the recent executive action.
The policy shift follows high-level diplomatic engagement, building upon interactions between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Further details regarding the implementation and broader diplomatic implications of the sanctions waiver are expected to emerge as the situation develops.
