EU Implements First Sanctions on Russian Gas with 14th Package

New measures target Russian LNG re-exports and shadow fleet operations, aiming to curb Moscow's energy revenues.

  • Sanctions ban re-exports of Russian LNG through EU ports, affecting about 10% of Russia's total LNG exports.
  • The package includes measures to restrict financing for Russia's Arctic and Baltic LNG projects.
  • Germany and Hungary initially opposed the package, leading to a month-long negotiation process.
  • Additional sanctions target Russia's shadow fleet and dual-use technologies to prevent military use.
  • The EU aims to further limit Russia's access to key technologies and financial networks.
