US President Donald Trump is expected to extend sanctions on Russia for another year, according to a US presidential document scheduled for publication on February 28.
The document states that sanctions imposed in 2014, 2018, and 2022 due to Moscow’s invasion must remain in effect beyond March 6, 2025.
The decision to extend sanctions comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Russia. Trump has made it clear that lifting sanctions is not currently on the table, although he did suggest that sanctions could be eased or tightened as part of US-Russia negotiations.
