Could Trump's Oil Embargo End the Ukraine War?
Ukraine War: Kasyanov Explains Trump's Potential Role in Ending Conflict Former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov recently appeared on Dmitry Gordon's show to discuss a potential game-changer in the ongoing war in Ukraine. Kasyanov highlighted a US Senate bill proposing an embargo on Russian oil purchases. "This embargo," Kasyanov stated, "would be a powerful lever to pressure Putin. The economic impact could be devastating, forcing him to the negotiating table." The potential consequences for Russia are significant. A sharp drop in oil revenue could cripple the Russian economy and significantly weaken Putin's ability to continue the war. Kasyanov's analysis suggests this economic pressure could be a key factor in achieving a peaceful resolution. The discussion also touched on the complexities of such a move and the need for international cooperation to ensure a stable global energy market. The interview offers a compelling perspective on the ongoing conflict and highlights the potential for non-military solutions. The proposed oil embargo presents a significant development in the international efforts to bring peace to Ukraine.
