New sanctions seen hitting Russian LNG

摘要

Moscow—The threat of new international sanctions against Russia over the crisis in Ukraine continues to worry oil and gas markets, with analysts Tuesday pointing to the potential impact of any economic measures on Russia’s fledgling LNG sector. The US and the EU are both considering imposing new sanctions against Moscow if it does not move to de-escalate the crisis over Ukraine. Reports also suggest that some higherprofile figures in the Russian energy sphere— including Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin—could be targeted by new US sanctions.
