Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has criticized world leaders for their “excuses and half-measures” and called for an EU embargo on Russian oil, APA reports citing The Guardian.

Writing on Twitter, Kuleba said:

"If world leaders and businesses are serious about ending Russian war crimes, they must first deprive Putin of oil revenues. Enough excuses and half-measures while Ukrainians are being bombed, killed, tortured, and raped.

Russian oil is full of Ukrainian blood. Stop buying it!"

The European Union needs a “real embargo” on Russia oil, Kuleba added.

"Russia desperately tries to bypass the already imposed restrictions.

Let’s be clear: any blend containing any Russian oil should be treated as 100% Russian oil. Don’t let Russians cheat their way around restrictions."
