US lawmakers advance bill that targets Russian oil buyers
The US Senate advanced a bill to impose economic penalties on Russia and countries purchasing its fossil fuels, granting the president authority to levy up to 100% tariffs on major buyers. Critics question the bill's effectiveness in aiding Ukraine, while the energy conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, with Ukraine targeting Russian refineries and Zelenskyy requesting Patriot missile interceptors from Trump.
