European Union countries should ban Russian oil imports in the next six months, and all refined oil products by the end of the year, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, told the European Parliament on Wednesday morning as she unveiled the bloc’s new package of measures against Russia. The crude ban and other measures will be presented in detail to E.U. ambassadors Wednesday and are expected to be adopted by the end of the week. “Let us be clear, it will not be easy,” Ms. von der Leyen told European deputies at the parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, France.
