JP Morgan Says If The EU Imposes A Full Embargo On Russian Oil Next Week, Oil Prices Will Hit $185 Per Barrel
*Bloomberg:* *JPMorgan Sees Risk of $185 Oil If EU Acts Quickly on Russia Ban* (Bloomberg) -- If the European Union is serious about squeezing Russian oil, it may need to brace for some pain. A full and immediate ban could displace more than 4 million barrels a day of supplies -- propelling Brent prices up by around 65% to $185 a barrel, JPMorgan warns. And there wouldn’t be enough appetite or time to re-direct the barrels to China and India, analyst Natasha Kaneva says.

UKRAINE: JUST THE FACTSThe Russian word 'ukraina' is a variant of 'okraina' and is related to the word 'krai' meaning 'edge', 'margin', 'periphery', 'border', etc., from the edge of a cup of tea in a province far from the centre (Moscow). The origin of the term "Ukraina" as a specific toponym is not entirely clear; there is some evidence that it was a pejorative term first used by the Poles at a time when Poland occupied about half of this territory (at that time, the Polish-Russian border ran along the Dnepr river, cutting it in two). read more
