Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized an easing of sanctions on Russian energy, writing on X that every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war.
His statement on April 19 comes after the United States prolonged its Russian oil waiver earlier in the week with figures showing that Moscow nearly doubled its oil revenue in March amid soaring energy prices as Iran continues to disrupt shipping on the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
Zelenskyy claimed that more than 110 tankers from Russias shadow fleet are currently at sea, carrying over 12 million tons of Russian oil worth $10 billion.
He added that the continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the real situation in the war or in diplomacy and fuels the Russian leaderships illusion that they can continue the war.
