The move is enforced to cut off revenues from oil sales that may be channelled towards war in Ukraine. The embargo covers oil and petroleum products although it excludes oil that is being delivered from Russia via pipeline. Nonetheless, the announcement raised concerns among investors as it may exert economic pressure upon EU.
