The US Congress is preparing to take action against Russian oil purchases, as Republican Brian Fitzpatrick claims to have secured support from at least 218 members for a bill aimed at advancing the measure.
The proposed legislation targets agreements involving Donald Trump and Russia over diesel fuel supplies. Lawmakers from both parties warn that easing restrictions could provide Moscow with additional revenue to support its war against Ukraine.
Critics also argue that the White House's approach could weaken US sanctions against Russia, especially after Congress recently sought to strengthen those restrictions.
The move highlights growing political divisions in Washington over energy policy, sanctions, and continued support for Ukraine.
