Sanctions to Degrade Russia’s Energy Sector

Today, the United States is sanctioning major targets in Russia's energy sector, the primary source of revenue fueling Russia's war against Ukraine. The Department of State is imposing sanctions on nearly 80 individuals and entities. Concurrently, the Department of the Treasury is designating more than 150 individuals and entities and individuals and identifying 183 vessels as blocked property. Treasury provides more information in its actions, please see press release.

The Department of State's designations aim to reduce Russia's oil and natural gas revenue through sanctions on operators of significant Russian crude oil production and liquified natural gas projects. We are designating the chief executive officer and members of State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom's (Rosatom).

All Department of State targets are being designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14024, as amended, which authorizes sanctions with respect to specified harmful foreign activities of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The United States will continue to use all tools at its disposal to disrupt support for Russia's military-industrial base and curtail the Kremlin's ability to exploit the international financial system and generate revenue in furtherance of its war against Ukraine. We continue to stand in solidarity with Ukrainians in defending their homeland from Russia's aggression.

Today, the Department is designating senior officials of Rosatom, including Chief Executive Officer Alexey Likhachev and members of Rosatom's Management Board. This is the eleventh Russia sanctions action that includes Rosatom-related designations. Senior Rosatom officials have publicly stated that Rosatom enterprises are developing weapons systems, including for use in Russia's war against Ukraine. Rosatom subsidiaries have provided the Russian defense industry with military-applicable armaments, components, and advanced technologies to further Russia's war against Ukraine.

The individuals designated today enable Rosatom's involvement in Russia's nuclear weapons complex and defense sector, nuclear power plant construction exports, development of advanced technologies and materials, non-uranium extractive industries and associated businesses, and malign activities including the occupation of Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

Additionally, since the Kremlin's further invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States has previously designated important members of Rosatom's Supervisory Board pursuant to E.O. 14024 in relation to other (non-Rosatom) roles they held. These previous designations included chairman of the Supervisory Board Sergei Vladilenovich Kiriyenko and Supervisory Board members Denis Valentinovich Manturov, Larisa Igorevna Brycheva, Sergey Borisovich Korolev, Aleksandr Valentinovich Novak, Yuriy Petrovich Trutnev, and Maxim Stanislavovich Oreshkin.

Today's actions bring the total number of Rosatom-related designations by the United States to nearly 70 subsidiaries and related individuals. They also serve to align our actions with past designations of Rosatom board members by the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada. These designations are consistent with G7 commitments to reduce Russian nuclear energy supplies and services.

The Department is designating the following individuals pursuant to section 1(a)(iii)(A) of E.O. 14024, for being or having been a leader, official, senior executive officer, or member of the board of directors of the Government of the Russian Federation:

As a result of today's sanctions-related actions, all property and interests in property of the sanctioned persons described above that are in the United States or in possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Additionally, all individuals or entities that have ownership, either directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked.

All transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons are prohibited unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC or exempt. These prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked person and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.

The power and integrity of U.S. government sanctions derive not only from the U.S. government's ability to designate and add persons to the SDN List, but also from its willingness to remove persons from the SDN List consistent with the law. The ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish, but to bring about a positive change in behavior.

Petitions for removal from the SDN List may be sent to: [email protected]. Petitioners may also refer to the Department of State's Delisting Guidance page.
