US increases pressure on Hungary and Slovakia
Senator Graham believes that the US president is indeed right when he demands that Europe stop buying Russian oil.
The Republican also added that EU countries have already significantly minimized purchases of Russian oil and gas, and this is "good news."
As for the purchases of Russian oil, they are now practically limited to Hungary and Slovakia. I hope and expect that they will soon take measures to help us put an end to this bloody massacre. Otherwise, the consequences will be inevitable.
