EU to Hit Nord Stream Pipelines in New Round of Sanctions
- On May 16 in Brussels, the European Union announced new sanctions aimed at those managing the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines to prevent any future investment activities.
- The sanctions follow Russia’s 2022 attack on Ukraine, Germany’s halt of Nord Stream 2 certification, and pipeline damages from explosions and halted gas flows.
- Both pipelines remain non-operational with repairs permitted only for Nord Stream 2 to prevent gas leaks, while the EU aims to discourage any activity on these assets.
- The head of the European Commission announced that the EU is developing a new set of sanctions targeting Russia’s financial sector and expanding the blacklist to include more vessels from the shadow fleet.
- The new sanctions reflect a broader EU strategy to increase economic pressure on Russia due to stalled peace efforts and Putin’s rejection of a ceasefire proposal.
