EU Imposes Sanctions on Russian Liquefied Natural Gas for First Time
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The European Union has agreed to impose sanctions on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments, aiming to deprive Moscow of a crucial source of income. This move marks a notable expansion of the EU’s sanctions regime, which has been in place since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Targeting Transshipments

According to a senior EU diplomat, the new measures will target imports of Russian LNG that pass through EU ports on their way to other countries, known as transshipments. This development is significant, as many EU countries have continued to purchase LNG from Russia, which arrives by ship, despite having stopped importing natural gas that arrives by pipeline from Russia.

Closing Loopholes

The sanctions package includes measures aimed at maximizing the impact of existing penalties by closing loopholes, according to the Belgian government. The rules must be formalized before they become law and take effect.

Expanded List of Targeted Entities

In addition to the LNG sanctions, the EU has added 100 Russian individuals and entities to its list of targeted persons and entities, bringing the total number to 2,200. This move demonstrates the EU’s commitment to maintaining pressure on Russia to cease its aggression in Ukraine.

Impact on Global Energy Market

The EU’s decision to target Russian LNG shipments marks a significant shift in its sanctions policy, as it seeks to further isolate Russia economically. The move is likely to have far-reaching implications for the global energy market and Russia’s economy.

Unity Among EU Member States

The Belgian government emphasized the importance of maintaining unity among EU member states in the face of Russian aggression. “This package provides new targeted measures and maximizes the impact of existing sanctions by closing loopholes,” the statement read.

Supporting Ukraine

The EU’s latest sanctions package demonstrates its unwavering commitment to supporting Ukraine and promoting a peaceful resolution to the conflict. As the situation continues to evolve, the EU remains steadfast in its resolve to hold Russia accountable for its actions.

Background

Prior to the invasion, EU countries imported 40% of their gas from Russia, primarily via pipeline. However, according to Reuters, over 10% of pipeline gas had been replaced by LNG delivered to EU ports last year. The new sanctions aim to disrupt this flow of revenue to Russia.

Reaction from Russia

Russia has yet to comment on the EU’s latest sanctions package, but it has previously denounced the measures as “unfriendly” and “counterproductive.”

Ongoing Diplomatic Efforts

Despite the escalation of sanctions, diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine continue. The EU remains committed to finding a peaceful solution, and negotiations are ongoing to address the ongoing crisis.
