FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Britain announced on 20 May that it will continue allowing imports of diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian crude in third countries, postponing a planned ban first introduced in October. The government said the move is intended to ease fuel supply pressures caused by the ongoing Iran war and disruptions in global energy markets. The temporary carve-out permits imports of fuels refined in countries such as India and Turkey, even if the original crude oil came from Russia. Officials said the measure takes effect immediately and is aimed at protecting fuel supplies as energy prices surge.
