The European Union imposed an embargo on oil products from Russia

It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“Oil sanctions with a six-month delay came into force on December 5, fuel sanctions come into force two months later, from February 5,” the report says.

It is noted that a temporary exception has been made for those EU countries that cannot quickly find an alternative to Russian supplies.

They will continue to import until the end of 2023.

Earlier, the EU Council approved a decision to introduce a ceiling on prices for Russian oil products.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the EU embargo on Russian oil products will lead to an imbalance in world markets.
