Ukraine calls on the US to take steps to strengthen sanctions against Russia: "The pressure on Putin is insufficient"

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sibiga urged the United States Congress on Saturday to approve pending legislation aimed at strengthening sanctions against Russia. The diplomatic push comes as Russian missile strikes continue to target Ukrainian cities, prompting Kiev to argue that current international pressure on Vladimir Putin remains insufficient.

The proposed legislative measure has already cleared the U.S. Senate but currently faces resistance in the broader congressional process. Ukrainian officials maintain that tightening these economic and political restrictions is necessary to counter what they describe as Moscow's intensified campaign of terror.
