The US Department of State and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury took significant steps by adopting new sanctions on November 2, 2023. These sanctions are a direct response to Russia’s ongoing aggression and aim to limit the means that support it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the State Department sanctions were imposed on people involved in sanctions evasion, among other things. “Our actions today also target Russia’s future energy capabilities, which will limit Moscow’s ability to funnel future revenues toward its destructive aims,” Blinken said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent months, Razom We Stand has been actively advocating for limiting Russian expansion in the Arctic and imposing sanctions on the export of liquefied natural gas from the Russian Federation. These sanctions target to stop Russia\u2019s Arctic LNG-2 project, which can significantly increase its energy potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LLC Arctic LNG 2 was included in the US sanctions list adopted on November 2. This company is the Arctic LNG-2 operator, the flagship LNG project of NOVATEK, which has the full support of the Kremlin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world community is well aware that Moscow’s energy power has been the driving force behind its current aggression. By targeting this project, the US deals a blow to Russian expansion in the Arctic and prevents the expansion of Russian liquefied natural gas exports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU should also take appropriate steps for the sake of peace in Europe and climate protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
