US senator warns Slovakia and Hungary: Russian oil could cost you dearly

In a post by Lindsey Graham, Senator for South Carolina, on the social network X, an appeal was made to Hungary and Slovakia, which, according to the author, are the last significant buyers of Russian oil in Europe.

Graham agrees with the US president that the purchase of Russian oil must be completely stopped and points out that Europe has already largely restricted imports of fossil fuels from Russia.

However, these two countries are exceptions and are expected to join the rest of Europe in helping to end the “bloody conflict.” If they do not, “there should and will be consequences,” he warns.
