"The good news is that Europe has significantly reduced its purchases of Russian oil and gas," Graham added.

As for the purchase of Russian oil, everything now depends practically on Hungary and Slovakia, he said.

"I hope and expect that they will get down to business soon and help us put an end to this bloodbath. Otherwise, there will be consequences, and they will not be long in coming," Graham emphasized.
