EU to Target Nord Stream and Russian Oil Cap in New Sanctions

  • On Tuesday, the European Commission unveiled a new set of sanctions targeting Russia’s energy sector, banking institutions, military industry, and operations involving the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
  • The sanctions come after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, amid stalled peace talks and efforts to pressure Moscow into a 30-day ceasefire.
  • The proposed package expands the blacklist of 22 Russian banks, includes 77 vessels in the shadow fleet, and aims to lower the oil price cap from $60 to $45 per barrel.
  • The price cap on Russian crude, established by the G7 in December 2022, coincided with an 18% drop in Brent crude prices, a key global oil benchmark.
  • The sanctions require approval by all 27 EU member states and suggest intensified pressure on Russia could reduce its revenues and affect its military capabilities.
