โ€œThanks For A Strike Against Putinโ€™s War Machineโ€: Zelensky To Biden Amid Ban On Russian Oils

Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has tanked US President Joe Biden for banning Russian oil, gas and energy import amid the Russian invasion on Ukraine. Eastern European nationโ€™s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, echoed his US counterpartโ€™s remarks that the move was against Vladimir Putinโ€™s โ€˜war machine.โ€™

President Joe Biden has announced a ban saying that Putin will never win over Ukraine. Britain said it will also phase out Russian oil imports by the end of this year. Taking to twitter, Zelensky tweeted, โ€œThankful for US and @POTUS personal leadership in striking in the heart of Putinโ€™s war machine and banning oil, gas and coal from US market. Encourage other countries and leaders to follow.โ€

Earlier addressing a press conference at the White House, Biden announced the United Statesโ€™ latest sanctions against Russia amid the Russia-Ukraine war.

โ€œToday, I am announcing that the US is targeting the main artery of Russiaโ€™s economy. We are banning all imports of Russian oil, gas and energy. That means that Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at US ports. The American people will deal another powerful blow at (Vladimir) Putinโ€™s war machine,โ€ he said.

Afterwards, the US President posted on Twitter: โ€œThis much is already clear: Ukraine will never be a victory for Putin. Putin may be able to take a city โ€” but he will never be able to hold the country.โ€

The Democrat are terming this decision as โ€˜powerful blow against Putinโ€™s war machineโ€™.

McDonaldโ€™s, Coca-Cola and Starbucks have suspended their services in Russia over Moscowโ€™s internationally condemned invasion of Ukraine. 

The BBC has decided to resume English language broadcasting from Russia. Earlier they had suspended reporting from Russia, amid the new media laws. In a new statement, the corporation said it had โ€œconsidered the new legislation alongside the urgent need to report from inside Russiaโ€.
