The UK government, represented by Energy Minister Michael Shanks, has confirmed that it will not soften sanctions on Russian oil despite temporary sanctions relief by the US on oil transported by tankers.
The UK government has reiterated its commitment to maintaining strict sanctions on Russian oil, as stated by Energy Minister Michael Shanks. This announcement comes in light of the US's recent decision to temporarily ease sanctions on certain Russian oil sales transported by tankers. Shanks criticized the US move, suggesting that it would enable Russian President Vladimir Putin to allocate more resources towards the war in Ukraine, thereby undermining global efforts to counter aggression.
