"Grateful for today's conversation with Scott Bessent and the Treasury Department's decision to impose sanctions against major Russian oil companies due to Russia's lack of commitment to the peace process," von der Leyen's post reads.
She noted that "given the imminent adoption of the 19th EU package, this is a clear signal from both sides of the Atlantic that we will continue collective pressure on the aggressor."
In turn, Starmer announced that Britain had imposed such sanctions against two of Russia's largest oil companies last week. He noted that these companies "finance Putin's war machine."
"I am glad that the US has now joined us in imposing significant sanctions against these two oil companies. Putin must pay for his unnecessary aggression. The killings must stop now," he emphasized.
Recall
On Wednesday, October 22, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions against Rosneft, Lukoil, and their subsidiaries. The US called on Moscow to immediately agree to end the war against Ukraine.
