EU struggles with Russia oil embargo +++ Ukraine wants more heavy weapons - DW News
European leaders are meeting in Brussels today to discuss more sanctions against Russia, including a plan to phase out Russian oil imports. But a full ban is looking unlikely, after opposition from Hungary which depends on oil delivered by a Russian pipeline. The two-day European Council meeting is attempting to avoid a display of disunity over the bloc's response to the war in Ukraine.
The outcome of this EU leaders' meeting is being closely observed in Ukraine.
