The United States did not see sanctions violations in China's possible purchases of oil from Russia

China's purchase of Russian oil to replenish its reserves will not violate US sanctions against Moscow. This was stated by Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Jake Sullivan, reports REUTERS.

“We have imposed a ban on the supply of Russian oil to the United States, but we have not introduced restrictions on the sale of Russian oil to other countries, so when other countries buy Russian oil , this does not contradict the sanctions that we have introduced,” Sullivan explained.

At the same time, the White House noted that the United States will support if the EU adopts a ban on the purchase of oil from RUSSIA.

BLOOMBERG, citing informed sources, reported the day before that the Chinese authorities were negotiating with Russia to purchase oil for their strategic reserves. According to the interlocutor of the publication, the negotiations are being conducted at the government level with little direct participation of oil companies. However, another interlocutor of the agency noted that the terms of a potential deal have not yet been determined and there are no guarantees of its conclusion.
