Washington looking for allies without success

9 марта 2022

The attempts of Washington to mitigate the impact of its embargo on Russian fuel have failed so far. The leaders of the UAE and Saudi Arabia refused from phone talks with Biden, who was going to discuss the situation around Ukraine and the possibility of stepping up oil production to bring down the global hydrocarbon prices, the Wall Street Journal reports. There was no any breakthrough in negotiation with Venezuelan President Maduro either. Caracas blamed NATO for instigating the conflict in Ukraine. The Venezuelan President also believes that information campaign and sanctions promote hatred and deteriorate the Ukrainian crisis.
