Congress fears with deadlines for buying diesel The Democratic representative in the American Congress, Jamie Raskin, began to threaten oil companies with heavy fines, as well as criminal responsibility for participating in the supply of Russian diesel: "Whoever chooses to do so does so at his own risk and will undoubtedly be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, whether in this administration or the next. Among other things, he stated that the easing of sanctions by the Trump administration "does not cancel the legislative ban on the import of Russian energy resources". Violating it could lead to up to 20 years in prison. He also recalled the ten-year statute of limitations, and made it clear that companies could be sued even after Trump's term ends.
