“Please join me in praying for the 2nd round of peace talks being held this morning on the border of Belarus with delegations from Ukraine and Russia,” Franklin Graham wrote. “Pray that they will be able to come to an agreement that will allow this unnecessary war and loss of life to end.”

Politicians Agree With Warren

Likewise, many politicians on the left and the right have the same feelings Warren expressed regarding the U.S. purchasing oil from Russia as it is ruthlessly attempts to overtake Ukraine.

John Kennedy explained to Fox News’ Jesse Watters, “We’re not going to bring Putin to his knees until we stop buying Russia’s oil and gas.”

U.S. Congressional Representative for Colorado, Lauren Boebert, wrote, “Just your daily reminder that America is funding Russia’s war by buying Russian oil and gas rather than producing our own.”

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, said, “Ban the oil coming from Russia. I’m all for that.”

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz posted, “It’s asinine that the U.S. is STILL importing more than half a million barrels of oil per day from Russia. America needs to cut the resources Putin uses for war—his oil and gas revenues. America must boycott Russian energy and unleash our own domestic production!”

Marco Rubio, Florida’s U.S. Senator, agrees with his fellow members of Congress and said, “Today and everyday for the foreseeable future America will buy 600,000 barrels of oil from the butcher #Putin Lets stop buying oil of #Russia and replace it with oil we produce right here in America.”
