Sanctions against the Russian fuel sector? Yes, but... not in Germany. Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Rosnieft is likely to receive an exemption from the fresh US sanctions on activities in Germany.
At the end of the EU summit in Brussels, Chancellor Merz announced that he would talk to the American side about exempting Germany from implementing US sanctions on Russia. It's all about Rosnieft.
The EU leaders met after the adoption of the 19th package of sanctions on Russia. This includes, among others, the ban on LNG imports. Previously Donald Trump announced a fresh package of US sanctions on Russian fuel companies Rosnieft and Łukoil and their subordinate companies.
