These restrictions were introduced as part of a list of sanctions against the aggressor country, Russia. The sanctions list included two companies from the United Arab Emirates and one from Liberia. Also, three tankers associated with the above-mentioned companies are now under sanctions. The ships carried oil at a price above the established ceiling. The US Treasury announced this.
According to US Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, ensuring prices for Russian oil are capped is a top priority for the US and coalition partners. Thus, the Russian economy is weakened.
By targeting these companies and their ships, we support the dual purpose of the price cap: limiting Russia’s oil revenues while promoting the stability of global energy markets, the official emphasized.
Let us recall that in November the US Department of the Treasury sent requests to 30 shipowners from different countries, which companies own about 100 tankers that could transport Russian oil. This is the biggest investigation by the US government since Washington and its allies imposed a price cap on Russian oil.
