Paweł Żuchowski wrote that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuels in connection with the oil agreement between Washington and Moscow has faced criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of making a "deal with the devil" to save his declining political ratings. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine would continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities. He also called on Trump to use the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to strengthen sanctions on Russia. Bacon accused the president of providing the dictator with money instead of using sanctions to weaken the Russian war machine while it continues to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also urged the use of the Graham Act. She stated that discussions about Russia's return to global energy markets should only take place after the war ends, and until then, sources of its funding and supplies should be cut off. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that he would put a bipartisan bill blocking all purchases of Russian oil to a vote in the House of Representatives. He predicted that it would be passed by an overwhelming majority. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote on X on Saturday that lifting sanctions in the face of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets was incomprehensible and constituted a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He added that the U.S. should not support the Russian war machine. Pence also stated that Vladimir Putin wants to take over Ukraine, and its conquest could lead to Russian forces crossing another border and clashing with American soldiers. He called on Trump to reverse the decision. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)
