Russia warns European oil embargo would ‘hit everyone’

MOSCOW — An embargo on Russian oil imports, pushed for by some European countries over Moscow’s military action in Ukraine, would have a direct impact on everyone, the Kremlin says.

As EU foreign ministers met to discuss more sanctions on Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells journalists that an oil embargo “is a decision that will hit everyone.”

Russia’s invasion has sparked an unprecedented wave of Western sanctions against President Vladimir Putin, his entourage and Russian companies.
