US Sanctions Russia’s Oil Giants Rosneft and Lukoil amid Ukraine War
The US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Russia’s top oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, citing “Russia’s lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine” in a press release on October 22, 2025. The measures aim to curtail Russia’s war financing by disrupting critical energy revenues. The move follows similar actions by the UK increasing economic pressure on Russia’s energy sector.
