EU leaders agree to partially ban Russian oil exports
The European Union has agreed to partially ban Russian oil exports to the EU, leaders announced on Monday.
The new ban "immediately" covers more than two-thirds of oil imports from Russia, "cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine," Charles Michel, president of the European Council, tweeted on Monday.
"We agreed in Versailles to phase out our dependency on Russian gas, oil & coal as soon as possible," European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen tweeted. "But this requires a plan."
