Vladimir Putin, President of Russia has issued a decree banning oil sales to countries and companies that comply with a price cap agreed to by Western countries earlier this month.
The cap was put in place in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in a bid to restrict Russian revenue.
The presidential decree bans the supply of crude oil and oil products to nations that abide by the cap from February 1 for five months.
Although, the Russian government says the sales ban may be lifted in individual cases through a “special decision” by President Putin.
