"Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war. The continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the real situation in the war or in diplomacy and fuels the Russian leadership's illusion that they can continue the war."
"It is important that Russian tankers are stopped, not allowed to deliver oil to ports. The aggressor's oil exports must decrease, and Ukraine's long-range sanctions continue to work toward that goal."
"Figures show that revenues from Russian exports of both crude and refined oil products reached $19 billion in March, up from $9.7 billion in February."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the easing of sanctions on Russian energy, stating that every dollar spent on Russian oil supports the war. He noted that Russia's oil revenue nearly doubled in March, reaching $19 billion. Zelenskyy highlighted the presence of over 110 tankers from Russia's shadow fleet carrying significant amounts of oil. He emphasized the need to stop Russian tankers and reduce oil exports to weaken Russia's war efforts. Recent attacks by Russia included drone strikes and missile launches, resulting in civilian casualties.
