At the press conference following the NATO summit in Madrid, @POTUS said that the US and Western countries would not insure oil tankers carrying Russian oil.
The sanctions coalition is serious about it since oil is one of the key funding sources for the Russian war against Ukraine. Moreover, we are working on further restrictions to impede Russian maritime exports.
#Thread Let me tell you why the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe’s decision to re-admit Russia will prove to be an own-goal and why those who voted in favour have made a fatal error of judgement.
Your claims that Russia belongs to the CoE with all the rights & obligations this confers is self-defeating. The hallmark of the Kremlin is that it actively chooses to operate outside the norms of international law, whatever the forum and whatever the rules or rulings.
