(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,276.76 0.21% Miners were in favour after the US imposed fresh sanctions on Russian oil firms Rosneft and Lukoil as it looks to ramp up pressure on Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. The news saw crude oil prices spike by more than 4%

US President Donald Trump said that while he continued to have "good conversations" with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, "they don't go anywhere".
