We will do this using all the legal competencies at our disposal. Therefore, anyone in Congress who claims that an older law or the current Lindsey Graham law prohibits us from proceeding this way is mistaken,” Bessent said on the “Fox & Friends” show. #Trump #Republicani #Rusia (translated)

Jiri Jicha wrote that Mike Pence, who was the Vice President of the United States during Donald Trump's first term, rejected the energy deal between the United States and Russia. According to Pence, Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel during ongoing assaults on civilian targets in Ukraine was nonsensical and a betrayal of the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He also stated that Putin’s war machine continued its attacks while Ukraine was fighting for its existence. According to Jicha, Pence urged Trump to immediately cancel the deal and return to the policies he advocated during his four years in the White House. He also demanded strict sanctions against any country purchasing Russian energy and cooperation with allies to ensure military support for Ukraine. #Ukrajina #Trump #Rusko (translated)

Paweł Żuchowski wrote that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuels in connection with the oil agreement between Washington and Moscow has faced criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of making a "deal with the devil" to save his declining political ratings. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine would continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities. He also called on Trump to use the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to strengthen sanctions on Russia. Bacon accused the president of providing the dictator with money instead of using sanctions to weaken the Russian war machine while it continues to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also urged the use of the Graham Act. She stated that discussions about Russia's return to global energy markets should only take place after the war ends, and until then, sources of its funding and supplies should be cut off. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that he would put a bipartisan bill blocking all purchases of Russian oil to a vote in the House of Representatives. He predicted that it would be passed by an overwhelming majority. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote on X on Saturday that lifting sanctions in the face of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets was incomprehensible and constituted a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He added that the U.S. should not support the Russian war machine. Pence also stated that Vladimir Putin wants to take over Ukraine, and its conquest could lead to Russian forces crossing another border and clashing with American soldiers. He called on Trump to reverse the decision. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)

Anna asked whether a diesel agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could have been made before its announcement. She wrote that the tanker Minerva Zen left Saint Petersburg on September 22 – 17 days before Trump's announcement. The ship, sailing under the Greek flag, had an undisclosed destination since its departure and was supposed to reach the US East Coast on October 11 or 12, according to data from Windward and Vortexa, a week after the House of Representatives voted for the Graham sanctions law. The route is documented, but the cargo is not, Anna wrote. Shipping papers are not available; estimates range from 230,000 to 300,000 barrels of diesel. Shipping analyst Michelle Wiese Bockmann could not say whether the ship had been redirected after Trump's announcement or whether an agreement had already existed before. Anna also pointed out that the US Treasury Department had issued General License No. 135 less than 24 hours before the report, allowing the import of Russian diesel until April 2027. She related the issuance on Thursday, a phone call on Friday, and the departure of the tanker on September 22, stating that the timing seemed unusual. While Kyiv had urged Congress to implement the Graham law, Washington could have already planned differently, according to her account. She cited Windward and Vortexa, quoted by Nasha Niva, as well as UkrMedia and NPR. #DieselDeal #Trump #Putin (translated)

Now is the time to use these sanctions to strangle Putin's war machine, rather than rewarding the dictator by pushing more money into his hands while he continues to target and kill Ukrainian civilians. Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine will continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities and urged Trump to apply Lindsey Graham's law to strengthen sanctions on Russia. #Trump #Ukraina #sankcje (translated)

The author wrote that almost a month earlier Donald Trump had signed the "Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act," which was to oblige him in eight days to impose tariffs reaching 100% on countries buying the most Russian oil. He noted ironically that Trump from September would thereby have to impose tariffs on himself from October. #Trump #Rosja #sankcje #RU #IR (translated)
