“Criminals must pay for their crimes: Zelensky reacted to the new package of US sanctions against the Russian Federation. Zelensky thanked for the support and emphasized that this would significantly undermine the financial basis of the Russian military machine.”, — write on: unn.ua
“I am grateful to US President Biden, his administration and the entire American people for the new package of sanctions announced today against more than 400 entities that are connected to the Russian energy sector. The bipartisan support of the United States is really very important, and we feel it well,” he said. Zelensky
He noted that these measures significantly undermine the financial basis of the Russian war machine, because they disrupt the supply chain: key Russian manufacturers, insurance companies, service providers in the oil and gas industry, 184 tankers of the shadow fleet, logistics facilities and companies of third countries.
“It is especially worth noting the pressure on companies such as Surgutnaftogaz – a key financial wallet for Putin himself. Such actions send a clear signal: criminals must pay for their crimes. The less income Russia receives from oil and other energy resources, the sooner peace will be restored “, the President added.
According to Zelenskyi, energy resources should not be a weapon, as Russia does. Instead, countries that respect international law can and should ensure a stable and reliable energy supply for the whole world.
“We are sincerely grateful for America’s leadership in holding Russia accountable. I am sure that these steps will significantly reduce Russia’s petrodollar revenues, and with them its ability to continue aggression,” Zelenskyy summarized.
