- Russian markets rise, suggesting relief over delay
KYIV/WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump announced new weapons for Ukraine on Monday, and threatened sanctions on buyers of Russian exports unless Russia agrees a peace deal, a major policy shift brought on by frustration with Moscow's ongoing attacks on its neighbor.
