Espreso TV reported the information, citing Volodymyr Zelenskyy's page on X."The new U.S. sanctions against Russia’s oil giants are a clear signal that prolonging the war and spreading terror come at a cost. And this is a fair and absolutely deserved step. It is precisely pressure on Russia that will be effective for achieving peace, and sanctions are one of its key components. I thank President Trump and the entire American team for this resolute and well-targeted decision. It is a strong and much-needed message that aggression will not go unanswered," the Ukrainian president wrote.According to Zelenskyy, there is no alternative to reliable and lasting peace.“I thank everyone who understands this and works with us to defend lives and restore justice,” he added.On Wednesday, October 22, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, due to Moscow's unwillingness to end the war in Ukraine. At the same time, the European Union finally approved the 19th package of sanctions against Russia.
