Russia criticized the latest U.S. sanctions targeting its energy sector on Jan. 11, describing them as an effort to harm Russia’s economy while risking instability in global markets. Despite this, the country’s Foreign Ministry said Russia would continue pursuing major oil and gas projects.

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Gazprom Neft, Surgutneftegas, and 183 vessels involved in transporting Russian oil, many of which belong to the so-called shadow fleet of aging tankers operated by non-Western companies.

    Yes that’s the general idea with sanctions.

    Nice. 👍 😀

    President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the sanctions, saying they would “deliver a significant blow” to Russia. “The less revenue Russia earns from oil … the sooner peace will be restored,” he added.

    Go Zelensky and Slava Ukraini.
