Britain on Friday said that a full ban on diesel and jet fuel made in Russia would happen by 2027 as it set out its timeline to end a temporary license for Russian oil products.
- Britain last month said it would continue to allow imports of diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian crude in third countries, deferring a previously announced ban, citing supply issues caused by the Iran war.
- The government said existing sanctions were not being lifted, but new sanctions were being phased in.
- On Friday the business and trade ministry said the temporary license for phasing in the ban would expire by Jan. 1 2027.
- It added that the government would continue to review the license every two weeks, with a view to lifting the license as soon as possible.
