Europeans vow to choke Russian oil sector after Trump sanctions – POLITICO

Keir Starmer pledged to “take Russian oil and gas off the global market” as he met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a bid to sustain momentum on ending the war in Ukraine after a whiplash week that saw the collapse of a potential ceasefire summit.

Starmer hosted a meeting of Ukraine's allies that sought to build on Donald Trump's biggest intervention yet against Vladimir Putin as he sanctioned Russia's two largest oil companies.

Zelenskyy hailed the move by the Americans as “a big step” but urged allies to go further, saying, “we have to apply pressure, not only to Rosneft and Lukoil, but to all Russian oil companies.”
