The U.S. is stepping up efforts to curb Russia 's LNG exports as part of its broader strategy to cut off funds supporting Moscow's war in Ukraine. According to Geoffrey Pyatt, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Energy Resources, the aim is clear reduce Russia 's revenue from oil and gas. This push has included sanctions on Russia 's Arctic LNG 2 plant, which has been particularly effective in stopping tankers from reaching foreign ports due to fears of U.S. retaliation.
While the Arctic LNG 2 facility has faced restrictions, Russia's other LNG projects, such as Yamal and Portovaya, continue to operate and deliver fuel to Europe and Asia. Sanctioning these facilities would further tighten global LNG supply, which could drive prices up—a move the U.S. is closely monitoring. Pyatt emphasized that the U.S. will continue to 'tighten the screws' on Russia's LNG flows, though he stopped short of revealing specific future sanctions. The U.S.
