UK eases sanctions on Russian jet fuel and diesel imports
The U.K. government said Wednesday that it had eased sanctions on imports of Russian jet fuel and diesel refined in third countries on Wednesday, amid spiralling fuel prices caused by the Middle East war.
The trade licence that came into effect Wednesday is of "indefinite duration" according to the Department of Business and Trade website, and will be periodically reviewed.
It will allow the U.K. to import Russian crude oil refined in third countries such as India.
The government also issued a temporary licence loosening sanctions on liquefied natural gas originating from certain Russian plants.
