US President Donald Trump may refuse to impose new sanctions against Russia after the deadline set by him for resolving the conflict in Ukraine. This was reported by the New York Post newspaper, citing sources.

"A source familiar with the discussions insists that sanctions are not inevitable when the deadline set by Trump expires on Friday, noting that the [US president's] administration is "actively seeking an agreement," the newspaper said in an August 5 article.

The New York Post adds that an agreement with Russia has always been President Trump's preferred outcome.
