BBC World Service - World Business Report, One year on: are the oil sanctions against Russia working?

It is exactly a year since the EU and G7 introduced the price cap on Russian crude oil

It's exactly one year since the EU and G7 introduced sanctions to restrict Russian oil revenue to try to stop the money from fuelling the war in Ukraine.

It has been one year since G7 nations and the EU imposed a $60-per-barrel ceiling on Russian crude oil. Elina Ribakova, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, warns that Russia is getting around the price cap by using a shadow fleet of tankers run by operators outside the western system.
