Details: Wadephul noted that the Trump administration has been announcing new sanctions against Russia for several months and urged Washington to "finally implement them".

"Anyone who openly considers themselves a supporter of freedom – and no country does this as convincingly as the United States of America – must act now," he said.

The German foreign minister also said he hopes that another package of EU sanctions against Russia, currently being finalised, will soon be approved.

Background:

• Earlier, Trump said he is ready to impose serious sanctions on Russia if all NATO countries did the same and stopped purchasing Russian oil.
• Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the White House to take a "clear position" on sanctions against Russia and security guarantees for Ukraine in order to stop Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and bring the war to an end.
