‘A strike against heart of Putin’s war machine’: Zelenskyy thanks Biden for banning import of Russian oil

Reacting to Joe Biden’s announcement of ban on US import of oil, gas and energy from Russia due to Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, the eastern European nation’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, echoed his US counterpart’s remarks that the move was against Vladimir Putin’s ‘war machine.’

“Thankful for US and @POTUS personal leadership in striking in the heart of Putin’s war machine and banning oil, gas and coal from US market. Encourage other countries and leaders to follow,” Zelenskyy posted on Twitter.

Earlier, addressing a press conference at the White House, Biden announced the United States’ latest sanctions against Russia in response to the invasion.
