The US Treasury Department has officially announced a temporary easing of sanctions against Russian oil. Over the next 30 days, countries are allowed to buy Russian oil and oil products that have already been loaded onto tankers and are at sea.
This was reported by the US Treasury Department, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, informs the PromPolitInform portal.
The license entered into force and will be valid until midnight on April 11, 2026 (Washington time). The permit applies only to the oil that was loaded on ships as of March 12.
New purchases or downloads are not eligible for this license.
According to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, this decision is aimed at stabilizing global energy markets and keeping fuel prices low amid tensions with the Iranian regime. Vig stressed that this step is a “highly specialized short-term measure,” which aims to unlock raw materials that are “stuck” on the road.
The US Treasury assured that this would not bring significant benefits to the budget of the Russian Federation, since the aggressor receives the main taxes directly at the time of production, and not during the resale of oil already at sea.
On March 10, Zelensky noted that the lifting of sanctions from the Russian Federation would be a serious blow to Ukraine and a reputational challenge to the whole world.
On March 12, Trump announced the benefits for the United States from the war in Iran and rising oil prices.
