ЕС вводит самые жесткие санкции против российских нефтяной, банковской и энергетической секторов

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

The new measures include a substantial lowering of the price cap on Russian oil exports, expanded bans on petroleum products, and restrictions on Russian banks. The EU's actions are coordinated with the UK, which also lowered its oil price cap, aiming to further squeeze Russia's war finances. However, major importers like India and China are expected to continue buying Russian crude, potentially limiting the sanctions' effectiveness.

The sanctions have sparked strong reactions from Russia and affected global energy markets, with ripple effects for countries and companies involved in Russian oil trade.
