High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell hailed the EU leaders' decision to impose a partial ban on Russian oil imports, APA reports citing Tele Trader.
"Welcome decision of EU leaders EUCO to ban Russian oil. A landmark decision to cripple Putin's war machine," he wrote in a tweet.
The leaders agreed to cut around 90% of Moscow's oil imports by year-end, with two-thirds of imports to be covered under the ban immediately.
