LONDON: Britain on Friday said that a full ban on diesel and jet fuel made in Russia would happen by 2027 as it set out its timeline to end a temporary license for Russian oil products.
Britain last month said it would continue to allow imports of diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian crude in third countries, deferring a previously announced ban, citing supply issues caused by the Iran war.
The government said existing sanctions were not being lifted, but new sanctions were being phased in.
On Friday the business and trade ministry said the temporary license for phasing in the ban would expire by Jan. 1 2027.
It added that the government would continue to review the license every two weeks, with a view to lifting the license as soon as possible.
