The EU is expected to outline fresh sanctions against Russia later today.

Qazet.az reports that this is a big move given how many member states are reliant on this source. Overall, the bloc relies on Russia for 26% of its oil imports.

Germany has indicated that it would be able to manage without Russian oil by the end of 2022. EU nations have been tussling this week on how to wind down their dependence on Russia.
