EU leaders have reached an agreement to ban Russian oil imports, following a meeting in Brussels last night.

Charles Michel said the ban would immediately cover more than two thirds of oil imports from Russia.
He said the move would cut a huge source of financing for its war machine and put maximum pressure on Moscow to end the war.
