Zelensky Says Russia Making Money From Oil Sales After U.S. Eased Sanctions -- WSJ

By Matthew Luxmoore

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for renewed economic pressure on Russia, saying it was enjoying significantly higher revenues from oil sales and helping it to finance its invasion of Ukraine, since the U.S. eased sanctions on Russian oil in an effort to alleviate the Iran war's impact on global energy supplies.

"Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. That is why pressure must continue and sanctions must work," Zelensky said in a social-media post on Sunday morning after another wave of Russian missile attacks against Ukrainian cities.

The U.S. earlier this month gave India a 30-day waiver to buy stranded Russian oil, then extended the waiver to all other countries. The surge in oil prices has at least temporarily given Russia's economy a new lease on life and funneled more money toward its defense industries. Zelensky said Russia has launched more than 1,500 attack drones around 1,260 aerial bombs against Ukraine in the past week.
