The EU would welcome US support in refusing Russian oil, — Reuters citing EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen.

According to him, such steps would deprive Moscow of financing to continue the war in Ukraine. The European Union is currently negotiating a complete cessation of imports of Russian oil and gas by 2028.

Jørgensen emphasized that public support from Washington for this strategy would be extremely important.

Earlier, Trump, in a phone call with European leaders, urged to stop purchasing oil from Russia.
