The owner of one of Britain’s biggest oil refineries has clarified its relationship with a Russian lender which was sanctioned following the country's invasion of Ukraine.
Essar Oil UK, which acquired the Stanlow refinery at Ellesmere Port from Shell in 2011, issued a statement ahead of the UK government confirming it will ban Russian oil by the end of 2022.
The site provides 4.4 billion litres of diesel, 3 billion litres of petrol and 2 billion litres of jet fuel a year.
