Ukrainian war, NYT: EU working on Russia oil embargo

According to the daily, which cites various EU sources, it is unlikely that a decision will be made before April 24.The EU is working to approve an embargo on the import of oil from Russia, due to the war in Ukraine, probably gradual as the one decided for coal, which will come into effect definitively only next August. The New York Times reports it. According to the daily, which cites various EU sources, it is unlikely that a decision will be taken before April 24, when the French presidential ballot will take place, to prevent a flare-up in oil prices to the advantage of challenger Marine Le Pen. Gasoline prices are a very sensitive issue in France. There is still no unanimity among the 27 member states on such a measure: Germany and Hungary are among the countries that most openly resist adopting energy measures that also affect oil (and, even more, gas).
