Russians Refuel Planes with Cash in the US: How Sanctions Affect the Kremlin.

During a visit to Alaska, Russians had to refuel planes with cash due to sanctions in the US. They cannot use the American banking system. This was reported by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on NBC News.

The Kremlin Feels the Impact of Sanctions

'The impact of all sanctions remains. When the Russians landed in Alaska, they needed to refuel. They had to offer to pay cash for refueling their planes because they cannot use our banking system. They face the consequences every day', — said the US Secretary of State.

Rubio noted that the only way to end the war is to force both Russians and Ukrainians to agree to peace. New sanctions, he said, would allegedly reduce the chances of bringing Russians to negotiations.

Recall that US President Donald Trump commented on 'great progress' regarding Russia.

We also wrote that Trump supported the position of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in the desire to completely seize Donbas.

During a visit to Alaska, Russian representatives had to face restrictions due to US sanctions - they had to make payments for services in cash, as they are prohibited from using the country's banking system. The US Secretary of State emphasized the need for a peaceful settlement of the conflict to make progress with Russia and reminded of Trump's position regarding the conflict in Donbas.
