The Wall Street Journal reports that a bill drafted by the late Senator Lindsey Graham proposes measures against the five biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas – primarily China and India. The draft also threatens tariffs of up to 100% on countries and individuals that help sell energy resources from Russia. The Wall Street Journal said the legislation targets Russian defense, energy and financial assets as well as the so‑called shadow fleet. Источник: The Wall Street Journal
According to experts, the proposed sanctions could hit China and India’s energy imports, which together account for a large share of Moscow’s revenue, and may force these buyers to seek cheaper alternatives, reshaping global oil flows. At the same time, the measures aim to dismantle Russia’s shadow fleet, used to evade Western restrictions.
Online users react mixedly; some call the plan a strong push for compliance, while others warn it may trigger price spikes for consumers. The debate highlights the risk of a broader energy confrontation.
По словам экономистов, the legislation raises questions about its enforceability and possible retaliation from targeted nations, and its impact on world markets will depend on how strictly the tariffs are applied and whether other suppliers can fill the gap.
