Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that offering Russia any respite from sanctions would increase the risk of a second invasion.
“If sanctions are lifted from the Russian Federation, I believe this will increase the risk of a second invasion,” he told British journalist Piers Morgan.

US VP says Venezuela can only sell oil if it serves US interests
- The United States controls Venezuela’s purse strings, Vance said
WASHINGTON: US Vice President JD Vance, in remarks due to air later on Wednesday, said Venezuela can only sell its oil if it serves the interests of the United States.
Vance told Fox News’ “Jesse Waters Primetime” show that the United States — which carried out strikes against the South American country and captured its president over the week — controls Venezuela’s purse strings.
“We control the energy resources, and we tell the regime, you’re allowed to sell the oil so long as you serve America’s national interest, you’re not allowed to sell it if you can’t serve America’s national interest,” Vance said.
Excerpts of the interview were released before it aired.
