A group of U.S. senators has prepared and submitted to Congress a bill to ban imports of Russian oil to the United States, the press service of Republican Roger Marshall, the initiator of the document, said.

On FoxNews, he explained: "First of all, President Biden needs to resume energy production in America and stop Putin from buying oil from Russia."

He added: "Don't hesitate, if President Biden finds the courage to do so, we will no doubt work closely with him."

Marshall, as well as Senator Jerry Moran and Congressman Tom Cole, in connection with the events in Ukraine, said in a letter to Biden: "We must strive to end the conflict before it escalates further, it's time to impose an embargo on Russian energy exports."

The senators urged softening any price shocks caused by the embargo on Russian energy exports and reconsidering energy policies that have led to a reduction in domestic production of oil and natural gas.

They believe that the United States should use its rich natural resources and relations with energy-producing allies "as leverage against Putin's Russian regime."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki, in an interview with FoxNews, when discussing the topic of imposing a ban on Russian energy imports, said: "We have not removed various options from the agenda, including the one you mentioned, the president is following this very closely." She added that Biden is focusing on "minimizing the impact on global markets and the American people."
