The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Russia\u2019s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, aiming to pressure Moscow over the war in Ukraine, according to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, the Treasury said<\/a> the designations target Russia\u2019s energy sector and block property and interests of the listed entities in the United States or under U.S. jurisdiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the action seeks \u201can immediate ceasefire,\u201d adding that Rosneft and Lukoil \u201cfund the Kremlin\u2019s war machine\u201d and that the department is prepared to take further steps in support of President Trump\u2019s efforts to end the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosneft and Lukoil were designated for operating in Russia\u2019s energy sector. Treasury also designated a number of Russia-based subsidiaries and said any entity owned 50% or more by the listed companies is blocked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called<\/a> the sanctions \u201ca clear signal that prolonging the war and spreading terror come at a cost,\u201d and thanked the United States for a \u201cwell-targeted decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separately on Thursday, the European Union adopted<\/a> a 19th sanctions package with new individual listings and sectoral measures hitting energy, finance, and Russia\u2019s military-industrial complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package tightens restrictions on Russian oil operations, expands enforcement against the \u201cshadow fleet,\u201d introduces a phased ban on Russian LNG imports, and adds financial curbs including actions against banks and crypto activities linked to sanctions evasion, according to the Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said<\/a> following \u201cthe playbook of its predecessor\u201d would endanger global economic stability. President Vladimir Putin, quoted by RIA, said the new sanctions would not affect Russia\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
