EU announces agreement to expand sanctions on Russia, banning more than 2/3 of oil imports

Overnight, the European Union delivered a major blow to the Russian economy by announcing an agreement to expand sanctions and ban more than two-thirds of their oil imports - which could cost Russia billions in lost revenue each month.

Well, the EU better find another way to get oil, and fast.

At this point do you really think Putin cares about sanctions? I'm pretty sure he's sitting in his office laughing at the NATO.

Costing consumers trillions of dollars to compensate for the inflated prices around the globe.

[harrybriscoe]

maybe they are hoping there will be a gas shortage for the Russians if the stop buying their oil ?

[ubuntuisawsome]

It's not a major blow to Russia's economy, it's a major blow to their own.

[peterbruno]

The less oil Russia exports the higher the global price goes. They are selling less but the higher price means more overall revenue.

And the gas prices will keep going up up up ⬆️⬆️⬆️ thanks brandon!

If you don't like it go buy a $60, 000 electric car 🤡

This is a very bad decision, meanwhile we are paying the Consequences.

Absolute lunacy has overtaken the world.

Soon you won't be able to afford to go anywhere.
Or buy anything.
See the price of grains, recently?

HEY PHILLY, I HEARD YOU HAD 6 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS JUST THIS YEAR? YOUR DIRT!

[chadlord]

Yeah, you show em EU. Have fun with your $15 gas

[michelleyb.]

No, this is not a " crushing blow" to Russia; the more we punish Russia the more WE suffer. The EU surely knows this so is this a forceable push over the cliff for us average people?

[inkedwisdom]

They keep calling it major blows but the ruble is stronger than ever. Seems like the only ones taking the blows is us..
