There is insufficient support from European Union member states for a complete embargo or punitive tariff on Russian oil and gas imports, the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell was quoted as saying by German newspaper Die Welt on Monday.

"At the moment, we in the EU do not have a unified position on this question," Borrell told the newspaper.
