During his visit to Paris, President Zelensky voiced strong opposition to the US administration's decision to ease sanctions on Russian oil. This move is reported to be a response to rising oil prices linked to the ongoing conflict in Iran.

The implications of this decision could affect the global energy architecture, potentially increasing throughput for Russian oil exports and altering market dynamics.

Critics argue that easing sanctions may inadvertently bolster Moscow's position in the geopolitical landscape, raising questions about the long-term strategy of US energy policy.
