Thus, he has stressed that an oil embargo by the European Union “will significantly increase the damage caused to the Russian economy for the next year” and, ultimately, “this will allow to end the war.”

In late May, the European Union introduced a sixth package of sanctions against Russia that mainly included a ban on imports of Russian oil by sea.
