STORYLINE:
The European Union should target Russia’s exports of liquefied natural gas, its shadow fleet of aging oil tankers and major energy companies with new sanctions over its war on Ukraine, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday.
“It is time to turn off the tap” on LNG, von der Leyen said in a video statement.
Meanwhile, the Hong Kong flagged LNG carrier ship Vladimir Rusanov was docked in the Belgian port of Zeebrugge on Monday.
The China-built vessel has been working for the Yamal LNG plant in northern Russia, and with Novatek, Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer.
The commission’s new sanction proposals must be endorsed by the 27 EU countries before they can enter force. The EU has already agreed on 18 packages of sanctions against Russia but final agreements may take weeks.
More than 2,500 “entities” like banks, ministries and energy companies, and officials have already been hit by sanctions.
The sanctioned officials include President Vladimir Putin and his associates, scores of Russian lawmakers and several oligarchs. Travel bans and asset freezes are the most common measures.
Energy revenue is the linchpin of Russia’s economy, allowing Putin to pour money into the armed forces without impacting inflation.
