What happened

The Government has confirmed the timeline for phasing in its ban on imports of refined oil derived from Russia. This includes products like Russian diesel and jet fuel. This action is part of a recently announced package of sanctions.

Why it matters

This policy aims to further squeeze 'Putin’s war machine' by cutting off revenue streams from Russian refined oil. It closes a loophole that allowed Russian oil to enter the UK via third countries, strengthening existing sanctions.
