UK vows to phase out Russian diesel and jet fuel imports by new year

The UK government has pledged to phase out imports of Russian diesel and jet fuel by the start of the new year. This move is part of a broader package of sanctions imposed on Moscow in response to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The ban aims to reduce the UK's reliance on Russian energy sources and increase pressure on the Russian government. The measure is expected to take effect by the beginning of 2024.
