Low prices are needed but it is the wrong answer. The Republicans, however, reject the agreement, 'it should be canceled'. Don Bacon: 'Low prices are needed but it is the wrong answer'. Michael McCual: 'It will finance the Kremlin's war machine' (ANSA) #Ucraina #Trump #TreguaEnergetica (translated)

Supporting Putin's war economy is morally wrong, while he uses the money to bomb cities. Nebraska representative Don Bacon, who is also retiring from Congress, criticized the agreement on Friday, stating on platform X that supporting the Russian president's war economy is morally wrong. #Trump #Republicani #Rusia (translated)

To be honest, it is time to put the president in an uncomfortable situation. What he is doing is a disgrace to our country, and I am not afraid to say it, said Republican Congressman Don Bacon, a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general representing Nebraska, adding that this initiative helps to show that the U.S. Congress stands on the side of Ukraine, not Russia. #Ukraina #Zelenski #Trump (translated)

I can only speak for myself and perhaps for my close Republican friends. In this matter, we categorically disagree with the president. I believe it is a serious mistake. It appears to be a weakness: the president is making concessions to (Vladimir) Putin, who is a dictator and a war criminal. We must support Ukraine – a democracy that has been invaded and whose cities are being bombed. Meanwhile, his ally Don Bacon stated that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian diesel "seems like weakness." #rusiškaNafta #JAVKongresas #sankcijos (translated)

I consider this a serious mistake. At the same time, another Republican congressman, retired Air Force Brigadier General Don Bacon from Nebraska, finds that President Donald Trump's decision to buy diesel fuel from Russia seems to be a sign of weakness. #Ukraina #Venemaa #Trump (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)

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)
