Britain has imposed sanctions against Russia's ten largest oil producers, the country's government website reported.

Britain has become the first country to impose sanctions on all ten major Russian oil producers.

The restrictions, in particular, concern Shadow Fleet ships involved in the transportation of Russian oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG), major coal companies, as well as Vostok Oil LLC, Rosneft's major Arctic oil and gas project.

Britain has also introduced sanctions against Salvnafata.

The country's government clarified that the restrictions cover almost the entire Russian oil and gas sector - from producers and trade chains to suppliers and ships.
