| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, called on American companies to strengthen the security of oil facilities after US President Joe Biden’s threats against Republicans who did not want to finance Kiev. She wrote about this on January 14 in the Telegram channel. “I advise American energy companies to strengthen the security of oil facilities in Texas and other regions of the United States, because after a similar threat from Biden at the beginning of 2022 against Russia, the Nord Stream gas pipeline was blown up six months later,” she wrote.
In December 2023, US congressmen went on Christmas recess until January 9 and left a number of issues, including additional funding for Ukraine, unresolved. White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said on January 11 that the United States had stopped supplying Ukraine with firearms and military equipment until Congress approved a request for continued funding. He clarified that Washington issued the latest package of military assistance to Kyiv. Later that day, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Kirby’s words, noted that more and more representatives of the US political establishment are interested in the question of where their money and the money of American taxpayers are going. | |
