A member of the US House of Representatives, Jamie Raskin, threatened oil companies with fines of up to a million dollars and up to 20 years in prison for importing Russian diesel, writes RBC. According to the congressman, the recent easing of sanctions by the presidential administration does not remove the legislative ban on the import of energy resources from the Russian Federation. Previously, the US Treasury Department approved operations with Russian diesel until April 7, 2027, and Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak confirmed his readiness to begin deliveries.
