US Senator Rubio proposes to impose sanctions on China's purchase of Russian oil

It is reported by Bloomberg.

“Any organization, including Chinese state-owned companies, helping them (the Russian authorities. -

) in these efforts must face serious consequences,” the senator said in a statement.

According to Rubio, by buying Russian oil, the Chinese authorities thereby support the conduct of a special operation in Ukraine.

Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced the possibility of an increase in oil prices in the event that a price cap on Russian oil is not introduced.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has warned that the anti-market plans of the G7 countries to set a price ceiling for Russian oil could lead to an increase in prices for it.

According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, Russia will not supply oil to the world market if, following the price restrictions discussed by the G7 countries, it turns out to be lower than production costs.
