The United Kingdom announced a new package of sanctions against the Russian energy sector on November 12. London became the first country in the world to impose restrictions on all ten of Russia’s largest oil producers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the British government.<\/p>\n

The new package includes Russian oil, gas and coal companies, enterprises related to energy trade, as well as vessels transporting Russian oil and liquefied natural gas.<\/p>\n

According to the official sanctions notice<\/a> , 20 new items were added to the British sanctions list on November 12.<\/p>\n

Among them are the oil and gas company Slavneft and Vostok Oil, which is owned by Rosneft and is implementing a large Arctic oil and gas project. It was the inclusion of Slavneft that allowed the UK to impose sanctions on all ten of the largest Russian oil producers.<\/p>\n

The petrochemical holding company Sibur, the company NIPIGAZ, the coal enterprises Kuzbassrazrezugol and SUEK, as well as companies registered in the United Arab Emirates, were also subject to restrictions.<\/p>\n

Separate sanctions were imposed against vessels that, according to British authorities, are used to transport Russian oil, petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas to third countries.<\/p>\n

The restrictions include freezing the companies’ assets and prohibiting the provision of certain services. Sanctioned vessels are prohibited from calling at British ports, chartering, and providing financial and brokerage services.<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said it was too early to ease pressure on Russia despite progress in peace talks over Ukraine, adding that London would continue to restrict Russian oil revenues to achieve a complete and immediate ceasefire.<\/p>\n

The new sanctions were announced against the backdrop of the European Political Community summit in Dublin, where further steps to achieve peace in Ukraine are being discussed.<\/p>\n

Recall that earlier the United Kingdom introduced a large-scale package of sanctions against Russia<\/a> . The restrictions from October 8 concerned the oil sector, the military-industrial complex, and schemes to circumvent international sanctions.<\/p>\n

In addition, Britain has tightened restrictions on Russia’s shadow fleet of gas carriers<\/a> . In particular, on October 1, sanctions were imposed on vessels that Russia uses to transport liquefied gas in circumvention of international restrictions.<\/p>\n
