TL;DR

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania urged Brussels to fast-track the EU’s phased ban on Russian oil, arguing that Russian energy exports fund Moscow’s war in Ukraine; while the Commission pledged to bring forward the proposal, talks have stalled amid Middle East tensions and fears of an energy crunch. Poland backs a year-end move, but some members like Hungary and Slovakia may resist due to price concerns.
