Keith Kellogg, US President Donald Trump's special
representative for Ukraine and Russia, has called for reducing the
price of oil to $45 per barrel, emphasizing its significance in
curbing Russia's war efforts, Azernews
reports.
Speaking on the matter, Kellogg stated that solely assisting
Ukraine is insufficient to stop Russia's actions: "We need to
reduce the price of oil to $45 per barrel."
He further stressed the necessity of imposing stricter measures
on Russia's oil sector: "Russia earns billions of dollars from oil
sales. But what if we reduce the price to $45 per barrel?"
It is worth noting that on January 23, President Trump declared
his intention to lower domestic oil prices, aligning with broader
strategies to limit Russia's revenue sources.
