The United States is preparing sanctions against Russian oil exports
December 11th. /MEDIA TALK/. The Biden administration is studying the issue of imposing additional, even stricter, restrictions on Russian oil supplies, Bloomberg reports. It is planned to introduce new restrictive measures against the tanker fleet for the transportation of oil cargoes. Sanctions against the so-called "shadow" fleet will be announced in the near future.

The European Union intends to take similar measures against the Russian "shadow" fleet by the end of this year. It is assumed that the sanctions will also affect individuals associated with commercial activities in this industry.

The United States may apply the "Iranian" model of sanctions when oil consumers risk falling under secondary sanctions. However, such a decision carries serious risks, such powerful states as India and China are the largest buyers of crude oil from Russia, which may negatively affect US relations with these countries, according to Bloomberg. Such restrictions may also cause a rapid increase in the cost of oil in the near future, which will lead to increased economic tensions around the world.

Recall that in the first 11 months of 2024, the revenues of the Russian Federal Budget from the sale of oil and gas increased by 25.7%, the budget received 10,341 billion rubles.
