Donald Trump partially suspended sanctions on Russian oil. Congressmen appeal


“Every dollar flowing into the Russian energy sector helps sustain the Russian war machine, extends the illegal invasion of Ukraine and strengthens a regime that is strengthening its relationship with Iran, which threatens American troops in the Middle East,” congressmen from the bipartisan Ukraine Caucus said in a statement.
They were referring to the 30-day license issued on Thursday by the US Ministry of Finance allowing the purchase of Russian crude oil and petroleum products at sea loaded on tankers before March 12.

“We need to implement stronger sanctions against Russia”

“This is the time for American decisiveness, not for steps that could weaken the pressure campaign on the Kremlin. We must implement stronger sanctions that will help end Russia's war in Ukraine, not throw them a lifeline. This step can only be seen as a concession to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who is eager for the collapse of our country, NATO and Western civilization as we know it,” said Congressmen Marcy Kaptur, Brian Fitzpatrick and Mike Quigley.
