Putin and agreed to allow Moscow to release large quantities of diesel into world markets. #rusiškaNafta #JAVKongresas #sankcijos (translated)
Now is not the time to reduce pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do that. At the same time, the head of European Union (EU) diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, stated on Saturday that lifting the sanctions on Russian diesel would only help support the Kremlin's war against Ukraine. #rusiškaNafta #JAVKongresas #sankcijos (translated)
I can only speak for myself and perhaps for my close Republican friends. In this matter, we categorically disagree with the president. I believe it is a serious mistake. It appears to be a weakness: the president is making concessions to (Vladimir) Putin, who is a dictator and a war criminal. We must support Ukraine – a democracy that has been invaded and whose cities are being bombed. Meanwhile, his ally Don Bacon stated that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian diesel "seems like weakness." #rusiškaNafta #JAVKongresas #sankcijos (translated)
We will present a bipartisan bill to prohibit any purchases of Russian oil. It will be named the "Ronald Reagan Bill for Peace Through Strength." This project will be submitted for consideration using a special procedure and will be adopted by a large majority. U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced he is preparing a new bipartisan bill that will block any purchases of Russian oil, as Washington takes action to ease sanctions on Russian diesel. #rusiškaNafta #JAVKongresas #sankcijos (translated)
