"False story": Rubio disputes reports of UK intel sharing suspension, pushes back against narco-war criticism

Efforts to organise a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump were put on ice last month, as Moscow’s rejection of an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine cast a cloud over attempts at negotiations.

Ukraine’s Sybiha, after meeting G7 foreign ministers, praised Washington for new energy sanctions imposed on Russian oil companies last month.

"We need to continue to increase the cost of war for Putin and his regime, forcing Russia to end the war," he wrote on social media.

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand earlier announced additional sanctions against Moscow, targeting Russia’s drone programme, liquefied natural gas entities and vessels from Russia’s shadow fleet, among others, according to a statement.
