China's state oil giants PetroChina (SHA:601857, HKG:0857), Sinopec (SHA:600028, HKG:0386), CNOOC (HKG:0883, SHA:600938), and Zhenhua Oil halted purchases of seaborne Russian crude, Reuters reported Friday, citing various sources.

The decision was made amid concerns over sanctions the U.S. imposed on two of Moscow's biggest oil companies, according to the report.

The U.S. blacklisted Rosneft and Lukoil, citing Moscow's "lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine."
