Sources say work on so-called ‘options paper’ comes as Trump seeks to restore Moscow ties and end Ukraine war

Summary

The White House has directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft a proposal for lifting some U.S. sanctions on Russia as part of Trump’s effort to restore ties and end the Ukraine war.

The proposal could ease restrictions on select Russian entities and oligarchs, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

Trump has signaled openness to sanctions relief despite previously threatening harsher measures.

Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have intensified, with economic cooperation, including rare earth minerals, emerging as a key topic.

    Some of it is in English but most is Finnish, some Swedish. Excellent CC no ai-generated shit. It’s made by the FDF, Finnish Defence Forces. It’s essentially a video of what would happen between an invasion if a… cough cough Eastern neighbour, happened to attack.

    Jeesus, I loved being in the army so much and my nowadays person who uses 95% English is such a different person from the person I was when doing my conscription, that I turned on the CC to check it’s okay and every sentence gives me could chills for some reason. I know how to translate this obviously. But it’s some weird clash between my English personality and Finnish 20y ago personality. Not bad. Good.
