US EditionTrump administration sanctions big Russian oil companies, presses for Ukraine ceasefire
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department levied sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft after the Budapest planned meeting between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin was shelved.
- After Russian negotiators rejected a cease-fire proposal, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said sanctions respond to President Vladimir Putin's refusal to end the war and urged an immediate ceasefire and allied support.
- Sanctions hit Rosneft and Lukoil along with dozens of subsidiaries, targeting firms that supply almost half of Russia's crude oil exports, a vital source for the Russian government.
- Allied pressure accompanied the U.S. action after Russian drones and missiles killed at least six people in Ukraine and the United Kingdom issued sanctions last week.
- U.S. lawmakers are awaiting White House approval to vote on a bill to enforce steep sanctions, while more international sanctions are likely at the EU summit in Brussels on Thursday.
