UK to phase out Russian oil imports by 2023 and explore ending gas imports
The Guardian says Britain and the US together moved to ban Russian oil on Tuesday in the biggest financial crackdown on Moscow since its invasion of Ukraine two weeks ago.
In a move likely to hit the Kremlin’s coffers hard, as well as further raise petrol prices and feed inflation in the west, Boris Johnson said stopping imports of Russian oil by the end of 2022 was “another economic blow to the Putin regime”.
Joe Biden announced a joint ban on Russian oil and gas imports, while the EU presented a plan to phase out gas imports only.
