The oil price has jumped after Donald Trump announced new sanctions on Russia’s biggest producers, as the US president ramps up pressure on Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

Brent crude increased by 4.9% to $65.65 a barrel – a two-week high – on the news of the fresh restrictions on Moscow’s two biggest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil.

In a sign this pressure may already be having an impact, reports suggest refiners in India are preparing to sharply reduce their imports of Russian oil. Reliance Industries, the top Indian buyer of Russian crude, plans to reduce or halt completely imports, according to Reuters, which cited two sources familiar with the matter.

  1. Hi, ich wollte schon länger für ein Gaming-Notebook sparen, aber das Leben machte mir ständig einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Nach ein paar Rückschlägen nahm ich mein Glück in die Hand und probierte https://spinmama.com.de . Ich spielte „Gates of Olympus“ und plötzlich lief es perfekt – ein Gewinn, der alles änderte. Für Spieler aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum gibt’s extra Boni, die richtig Spaß bringen. Jetzt ist das Notebook endlich greifbar.
