US President Joe Biden on Tuesday ordered an embargo on US imports of Russian oil and gas. This announcement comes as the United Kingdom announced a few minutes earlier the end of Russian oil imports by the end of 2022.

The US embargo on imports of Russian oil and gas was decided “in close coordination” with the allies, said US President Joe Biden.

For his part, the British Minister for Business and Energy announced on Twitter the cessation of imports of Russian crude oil and petroleum products by the end of 2022 in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
