President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked the United States for the decision to impose sanctions on the companies that violated the Russian oil price cap set in the world.

At the same time, Zelenskyy said it is necessary "to continue posing pressure and depriving Russia of a possibility to receive funds for aggression due to any energy resources."
