Britain will ban Russian oil imports, Politico reported citing Whitehall officials, a move expected to be a gradual phasing out over time rather than an overnight sharp shock, APA reports citing Reuters.
The move is expected to be announced at 1600 GMT and will lay out the ban and its phase-in period, which is expected to last about a year to try to stop people panic-buying fuel at a time when energy prices are rocketing.
There will not be a ban on Russian gas at the same time, but this is still under discussion within the government, Politico reported.
