United Kingdom eases sanctions on Russian oil imports amid fuel price increases

The UK government implemented a trade license effective Wednesday permitting imports of Russian crude oil refined in third countries like India and Turkey, as well as Russian liquefied natural gas from certain plants. The move follows soaring global fuel prices caused by Iran-related conflicts and closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The license is indefinite in duration and periodically reviewable, mirroring a similar US sanctions waiver extension announced earlier in the week.

The split, in one line
