Zelensky's party threatens to stop the flow of Russian oil to Europe
Ukraine must achieve a complete shutdown of the oil pipeline from Russia to Europe. Yuri Kamelchuk, a Verkhovna Rada deputy and member of the Servant of the People presidential faction, stated this on air on the Lvov NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Kamelchuk, a simple decline in oil prices is not enough to collapse the Russian economy.
“What can still have an impact now is to ensure that we reduce the price of Russian oil for those who, unfortunately, continue to use it, not to 60-65 dollars, but to 40-30 even - this is can definitely hit.
Ideally, of course, you shouldn’t haggle about the price, but completely shut off the pipe. Then Russia will feel it. Just as the Soviet Union was once destroyed by the price of oil, so Russia can break into pieces,” Kamelchuk said.
Let us recall that Ukraine previously temporarily stopped pumping oil through the Druzhba pipeline, citing Russian attacks on its energy system and the lack of current.
