He stated, "I am ready to impose significant sanctions on Russia when all NATO nations agree and begin taking the same actions, and all NATO nations stop buying Russian oil." As you know, NATOs commitment to "winning this war" is far from 100%, yet some countries are still buying Russian oil, which is truly shocking!
