Mike Pence, who served as Trump’s vice president from 2017 to 2021, sharply condemned his former boss’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel. Pence said the move gives a lifeline to Putin’s war machine while Ukraine fights for survival. “Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine,” he said, urging Trump to rescind the deal, impose harsh sanctions on countries purchasing Russian energy and ensure Ukraine receives military support.
