Sanctions Lifted on Putin-Backed Leader Following Trump Allies’ Lobbying

The United States has decided to lift sanctions on Milorad Dodik, a prominent leader in Bosnia and Herzegovina known for his pro-Putin stance. This decision comes after significant lobbying efforts by Trump allies, including Rudolph Giuliani, Michael Flynn, and other high-profile figures.

Dodik, who previously served as the president of Republika Srpska, a self-governing territory within Bosnia and Herz,egovina, is now free from these sanctions. The move has sparked concerns over the potential impact on U.S.-Russia relations and the influence of foreign actors in regional politics. The decision underscores the complex interplay between domestic political interests and international policy, particularly in regions where geopolitical tensions are high.
