“As I said, I don’t know the dates… but we have to be clear about what the new sanctions package is about. The new sanctions package is saying that where Russian oil is sent to a third country for refining and then comes into the UK… Under the previous regime that was allowed. Under the new regime, it won’t be. “Therefore it is tougher sanctions on Russian oil. You can’t get through the back door coming into the UK.”
