(Worthy News) – European Union President Charles Michel announced Monday that the EU will implement a partial ban on Russian oil, more than three months after Russian forces invaded Ukraine.

The ban only targets Russian oil brought by sea and has a temporary exemption for pipeline imports. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
