The US Congress passed a broad new sanctions package aimed at Russia, marking the first time in more than two years that Congress has passed legislation explicitly supporting Ukraine. The bill comes amid ongoing US-brokered peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine, even as diplomatic talks continue. Poland has warned that Russia's military plans may include strikes against Ukraine's allies, saying it scrambled fighter jets in response to a Russian attack in western Ukraine near the Polish border. Separately, a Greenpeace investigation found evidence that Russia is 'sabotaging' power supply lines at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, contradicting Moscow's claims that Ukrainian attacks were responsible for damage there, further complicating the peace process.
