EU leaders have reached an agreement to ban Russian oil imports, following a meeting in Brussels last night.
The European Council President announced late last night that EU leaders agreed on a Russian oil embargo.
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.
The ban was initially proposed a month ago as part of a sixth round of EU sanctions.
However there had been strong opposition from the likes of Hungary who rely heavily on the product.
