'No Time for Half-Measures': Greenpeace Rebukes EU's Partial Ban on Russian Oil

'It's unacceptable that money from E.U. countries is even partially funding this brutal war,' said Greenpeace.

Jake JohnsonThe global climate group Greenpeace criticized the European Union's newly announced embargo on Russian oil as inadequate, noting Tuesday that the ban includes a key carve-out that will allow the nation's crude to continue flowing into E.U. countries through pipelines.
