What happened
The German Ambassador to India stated that the US legislation authorizing potential sanctions on countries importing Russian oil was designed to give President Donald Trump flexibility regarding the Ukraine conflict. The Ambassador noted that the law does not automatically impose sanctions on all importers but grants the President the authority to make decisions based on his own judgment.

The broader objective of the legislation is to increase the economic cost of Russia’s military aggression and limit Moscow’s ability to finance the war. The Ambassador stressed that the international community must change Russia’s cost-benefit calculus by increasing the economic cost of continuing the conflict.
