US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham expressed hope that Russia would agree to a 30-day ceasefire. If Moscow refuses, he calls for new sanctions.

He wrote about this on the social network X.

«I am very encouraged to learn that Ukraine has agreed to the US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire. Well done, Trump's team. I hope Russia follows suit. If Russia refuses, we should impose sanctions on them», the senator said.

He also emphasised that he would seek sanctions envisaged by the Congress that would affect not only Russia but also the countries that buy its goods, including oil, gas and uranium.

«It is high time that Russia felt the unbearable economic pain of its brutal invasion of Ukraine», added Lindsey Graham.

It should be noted that Russia has stated that it is studying the outcome of the talks between the delegations of Ukraine and the United States in Saudi Arabia and is awaiting information from the American side.

Earlier, however, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the talks between the United States and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia, said that Moscow would determine its position independently.
