Italian Premier Mario Draghi hailed the agreement reached by European Union members over the latest round of sanctions against Russia as a "complete success".
Draghi said the sanctions would last a "very long time" and would reach their "maximum impact" from the summer.The EU estimated around 90% of Russian oil will be banned by the end of the year.That figure includes a ban on all Russian oil delivered by sea - which accounts for two-thirds of the EU's imports from Russia - plus a decision by Germany and Poland to stop using oil from the northern branch of the Druzhba pipeline.
