US Eases Russian Oil Sanctions Amid Drone Strikes
The US has extended a waiver on Russian oil sanctions for 30 days, allowing shipments already at sea to proceed. This comes as Ukraine continues drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, prompting Russia to bolster its air defenses. Meanwhile, Belarus faces increased scrutiny over military activity near Ukraine's border. Former President Trump has also hinted at a new operation targeting Cuba, and the EU is testing its joint defense response mechanisms.
