🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳China Continues Russian Arctic LNG Imports Despite Sanctions

While the U.S. slapped sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, and a number of their subsidiaries, it stopped short of imposing further sanctions on Arctic LNG, developed and operated by Russian energy firm Novatek.

The U.S., the EU, and the UK sanctioned Arctic LNG in 2024, forcing the project to scout for buyers with tankers full of LNG traveling across the seas for months.

After more than a year of attempts to sell cargoes, Arctic LNG found the usual customer—one LNG import terminal in China, which has been receiving the sanctioned cargoes on blacklisted vessels since August.
