Impose sanctions on refineries that buy Russian crude oil to end war, says Bill Browder

Bill Browder, a long-time critic of Vladimir Putin, is advocating for stricter sanctions against refineries that purchase Russian crude oil as a means to end the war in Ukraine.

Browder's efforts to hold Putin accountable have already cost Putin and his allies billions through asset freezes and sanctions.
