Russia-Ukraine war: Ukraine says no longer insisting on Nato membership

President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced a ban on US imports of Russian oil, in the administration's most far-reaching action yet to punish Moscow for invading Ukraine. "We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy.
