ЕС вводит самые жесткие санкции против российской нефти для ослабления военного казначейства Кремля

The European Union has approved its 18th and most sweeping package of sanctions against Russia, targeting the country's vital oil revenues in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Key measures include a substantial lowering of the price cap on Russian crude, new bans on transactions with Russian banks, and restrictions on Russia’s 'shadow fleet' of oil tankers. The UK has joined the EU in tightening the oil price cap, aiming to further squeeze Moscow’s ability to fund its military campaign. While the sanctions are designed to hit Russia’s economy hard, analysts note that major buyers like China and India may continue importing Russian oil, potentially blunting the impact.

The new sanctions are also expected to disrupt global oil markets, affecting tanker trades and refining margins, especially in countries like India.
