President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticised Donald Trump decision to waive new Russia sanctions, calling it wrong and warning it would embolden Moscow to keep attacking Ukraine. The sanctions had been due to take effect within days.
He said Ukraine, the US and Russia could potentially meet at the December G20 in Miami, unconfirmed by Washington or Moscow. EU leaders in Brussels reaffirmed support for Ukraine and called for a ceasefire.
