What to know about the EU and G7’s new Russian oil ban and price cap

The European Union, United States and G-7 nations are trying to squeeze
Russia’s massive fossil fuel revenue through newly-enacted sanctions to
punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. The European Union’s ban on
the import of seaborne Russian crude oil went into effect on Monday,
along with a $60-a-barrel price cap on Russian oil shipped to the rest
of the world. POLITICO Europe’s Chief UK Correspondent Charlie Cooper
breaks down the latest Russian sanctions, how Moscow is privately and
publicly responding, and how these moves could impact the energy
markets. Plus, the Environmental Protection Agency has proposed closing
a reporting loophole for PFAS chemicals.
