According to Bloomberg, the statement was made before the Senate Armed Services Committee. “These strikes could have consequences for the global energy situation.” It is more profitable for Ukraine to attack military tactical and operational targets that can directly affect the current fight,” said the minister.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton accused the administration of blocking Ukraine from taking effective action for political reasons. “It seems to me that the Biden administration doesn’t want gas prices to go up in an election year,” he said.
Also at the meeting, L. Austin once again called on Congress to approve additional military aid to Ukraine, reminding that it provides jobs for Americans.

Soon, information appeared in the Western media that Washington asked Ukraine not to target Russian oil refineries, as this could lead to a rise in oil prices, as well as retaliation from Moscow. The strikes continued.
