According to TASS with reference to the chief of American diplomacy, Washington supports the EU's efforts to impose an embargo on Russian oil imports.

“While this is happening, the US has taken a number of steps to help… To fill Europe's energy gaps, we have already diverted significant amounts of LNG supplies to Europe,” Blinken said.

He explained that US President Joe Biden intends to continue deliveries until the end of the year to ensure an abundance of energy resources in world markets.

Earlier, the head of the German Ministry of Economy, Robert Habek, said that the country is currently not ready to introduce a complete embargo on Russian gas supplies.
