The EU has sanctioned Georgia's Kulevi oil refinery for its involvement in processing Russian oil. Following the sanctions, the refinery announced it would cease using Russian crude.

Georgia's Kulevi oil refinery plans to cease using Russian crude oil by September, following threats from the EU to include the facility in its 20th sanctions package over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Georgia's Foreign Ministry has expressed regret over the EU's decision to conditionally include the Kulevi oil refinery in its 21st Russia sanctions package, stating there were no factual or legal grounds for the move and hoping for a review.

The European Union has reached an agreement on its 21st package of sanctions against Russia, described as the strictest in four years. The new measures target Russian banks, shipping, and numerous companies, with some member states negotiating specific exemptions.
