The United Kingdom has also issued a license and allowed the supply of liquefied natural gas from the Russian “Sakhalin-2” and “Yamal” projects to third countries and related financial services. The license will be valid from May 20, 2026 to January 1, 2027.
- On May 18, the US also extended an exemption for sanctions on Russian oil transported by sea. This is due to the increase in oil prices due to the war in the Middle East. The US explained that if it were not for the easing of sanctions, Russia would sell oil more expensively.
