The European Union is contemplating a ban on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) and aluminum as part of its 16th sanctions package against Russia, according to Bloomberg. This move aims to further tighten economic pressure on Russia amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. The proposed sanctions would not only target new investments in Russian LNG projects but also include a prohibition on trans-shipping Russian LNG through EU ports. Additionally, the EU is considering restrictions on imports of Russian aluminum, which could impact various industries. These measures are part of a broader strategy to reduce Europe's dependency on Russian energy and to economically isolate Russia, although the effectiveness and the potential economic repercussions for EU countries are still under discussion.
