Speaking to Bloomberg, the US Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker said that secondary sanctions and tariffs are the obvious next step against China, Brazil and India which are funding Russia’s war effort in Ukraine by purchasing Russian oil. President Donald Trump also made a similar announcement yesterday.

The sanctions are due on August 10th if Russia doesn’t stop its war in Ukraineย according to a deadline set by President Donald Trump. US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff is also expected to travel to Moscow to meet with President Putin this week.

Russia launched up to 46 drones yesterday against Ukrainian cities killing at least 2 civilians in an attack on the railway station in Lozova of Kharkiv. A 72-year old farmer was also killed while working in the fields with his tractor in Rayske, Donetsk region. A drone targeted him specifically.
