Hillary Clinton urges world leaders to hit Russia with oil and gas sanctions – The National

Hillary Clinton has called on world leaders to put a full embargo on Russian oil and gas exports as the civilian death toll in Ukraine continues to rise.

Speaking at the Forbes 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi, the former US secretary of state said blocking the country’s energy exports would be the ultimate step in escalating the sanctions campaign imposed by the West.

Her call to action came on the same day that Russia threatened to cut off gas supplies to Europe over the war in Ukraine.
