10 EU Nations Seek Sanctions on Russian Gas as France, Denmark Repair Arctic LNG Tankers
Jan 13, 2025, 02:12 PM
Ten European Union nations have called for sanctions on Russian natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG), amid escalating tensions between Russia and the West. This move comes as EU shipyards in France and Denmark have been repairing Russian Arctic LNG tankers, enabling Moscow to continue its gas exports through the Arctic despite existing sanctions on its energy sector. The repairs are crucial for Russia's logistics operations, as without them, the country's ability to move gas could be compromised. Concurrently, the United States has imposed sanctions on Chinese yard Wison for supplying technology to Russia's Arctic LNG 2 project, further complicating Russia's energy export capabilities.
