Charles Michel, president of the European Council, announces on May 30 that the EU has come to an agreement to ban 2/3s of oil imports coming to the EU from Russia, in an attempt to limit Russia's funding for the war in Ukraine. It remains unclear when the ban will go into effect or whether countries which previously opposed the embargo will be exempt from the measure.
