‘Short-term’ measures on import of jet fuel and diesel, and shipping of LNG, aimed to help tackle soaring prices
The UK has delayed some sanctions on Russian oil and liquefied natural gas to help tackle soaring prices as the conflict in the Middle East disrupts global supplies.
A trade licence that came into effect on Wednesday permits the import of jet fuel and diesel refined from Russian crude in third countries while another lifts restrictions on shipping LNG from two Russian terminals.
