A U.S. decision to suspend sanctions on sales of Russian oil and petroleum products loaded onto vessels before March 12 could provide Russia with about $10 billion for its aggression, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday.

"This one easing alone from America can give Russia about $10 billion for the war. This definitely does not help peace," Zelenskyy said at a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.
