The EU should stop Putin from paying for his war with an oil levy

By Alan Riley

An EU levy on Russian oil could serve a dual purpose. It could stabilize energy markets and mitigate the impact on the average EU consumer while, at the same time, stripping Putin of the oil rents that fund his aggression in Ukraine.
