Poland still buying Russian oil: Deputy minister

Poland is still buying ten percent of its oil supplies from Russia, a deputy minister for state assets said on Thursday, despite Warsaw’s repeated calls for strengthening sanctions on Russian oil.

An embargo on Russia oil products -- like diesel, gasoline and jet fuel -- implemented by the bloc came into effect on Sunday.

That expanded on an EU embargo on seaborne oil deliveries introduced two months ago.

Poland had declared last year it had a “radical plan” of stopping all Russian oil imports by the end of 2022.
