Boris Johnson on Mission to Saudi Arabia, UAE to Help World ‘Wean Itself’ off Russia’s Oil & Gas
Since Russia launched its operation to "demilitarise and de-Nazify" Ukraine on 24 February, responding to calls for help from the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, it has been slapped with sanctions. The US announced a total ban on its energy imports, while the UK vowed to phase out imports of Russian oil and oil products by the end of 2022.Boris Johnson is visiting Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates this Wednesday, seeking to achieve what US President Joe Biden has failed to do so far: lobby the Gulf States to open the tap and boost oil supply amid reduced reliance on Russia.
