Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Mocks Putin Over Sanctions as Zelensky Joins London Summit
Caption: Trump Mocks Putin Over Sanctions as Zelenskyy Joins London Summit. President Donald Trump mocked Vladimir Putin’s claim that U.S. sanctions would have little effect, joking, “I’ll let you know in six months… let’s see how it works out.” Putin had downplayed the impact of the sanctions, saying they would have “certain consequences” but no “significant impact” on Russia’s economy. The sanctions target energy giants Rosneft and Lukoil, responsible for over 5% of global oil production, in a major shift from Trump’s previous stance toward Moscow. Following the move, China’s state oil firms suspended short-term Russian oil purchases, while India plans to reduce imports sharply, sources told Reuters. The new measures signal Trump’s intent to pressure the Kremlin financially and push toward ending the war in Ukraine, now entering its fourth year. In London, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is hosting a summit of Ukraine’s allies, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to increase support for Kyiv. Starmer said Putin’s recent attacks “on young children in a nursery” prove he has no interest in peace, stressing that Ukraine’s fight “shapes our collective future.” The UK is expediting the delivery of 140 additional air defence missiles this winter as part of efforts to bolster Ukraine’s security. The “coalition of the willing,” co-led by Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, aims to strengthen Ukraine’s defences and coordinate diplomatic pressure on Moscow.
