White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shared on Friday that Washington anticipates that the new sanctions against Russia's energy sector will gravely hit Moscow's revenue.
"These sanctions certainly target both Russian oil and LNG [liquified natural gas]. And we expect our actions to cost Russia upwards to billions of dollars per month," she underlined during a press conference.
Jean-Pierre stressed that these measures show the US' commitment to crush Russia's ability to "fund and sustain this war." The press secretary went on to say that US President Joe Biden and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky spoke over the phone today.
