Economic sanctions against Russia are increasing in protest against the attack on Ukraine. There was talk for several days that the US could ban the import of oil, natural gas, and coal from Russia, which the Biden administration has approved. Britain has also announced to phase out imports of oil and oil products from Russia by the end of this year.
Big preparation for the European Union
Along with the US and Britain, the European Union is also preparing to reduce its dependence on Russian gas by two-thirds by the end of this year. It is worth noting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has been hit by Russian attacks, had requested to cut Russian oil imports from Western countries including America. Talking about the big oil and gas companies, BP, Shell, and Aquanor have announced to end their activities after the escalation of war between Russia and Ukraine. Along with this, one after the other, many big companies have showered sanctions against Russia.

Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson wrote that its licensed partner has agreed to immediately cease operations of the store and will provide financial assistance to the nearly 2,000 partners in Russia who depend on Starbucks for their livelihoods.
Russia has given a big warning
Let us tell you that on Monday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak warned that sanctions on Russian oil imports would have disastrous consequences, amid discussions with Western countries to consider more sanctions on Moscow during the war with Ukraine. . Nowak had said that the sanctions on Russian oil will cause panic in global markets and will lead to an unexpected rise in international crude oil prices. He said that the price of crude oil can also reach beyond $ 300 per barrel. Nowak said that it is impossible to substitute Russian oil in the European market. If this process is adopted, it will take more than a year and by then it will be too expensive for European consumers.
