Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK Eases Russian Oil Sanctions as Fuel Prices Surge
Caption: UK Eases Russian Oil Sanctions as Fuel Prices Surge. The UK government has relaxed some sanctions on Russian oil as fuel prices continue climbing following the conflict between Israel, the US and Iran. Starting Wednesday, Britain will allow imports of diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian crude in third countries like India and Turkey. The move comes as disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz raise fears over global fuel supplies. Jet fuel prices in Europe more than doubled after the war began, while petrol prices across the UK have also jumped sharply. London says the changes are temporary flexibilities designed to protect energy markets and supply chains, while insisting overall sanctions on Russia remain strong. But critics argue the move could indirectly help fund Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have both warned against easing pressure on Russian energy exports.
