US EditionUS readies new Russia sanctions if Putin rejects peace deal, Bloomberg News reports
The US plans sanctions on Russia's oil shipping and traders to pressure Putin after stalled peace talks and ongoing territorial disputes, sources said.
- On December 17, 2025, Bloomberg reported the United States is preparing new sanctions on Russia's energy sector if President Vladimir Putin rejects a U.S.-brokered peace deal for Ukraine.
- With talks stalled over territory and guarantees, Russia has demanded that Ukraine cede areas of the Donbas, a core sticking point in talks between U.S. negotiators and envoys.
- The U.S. is weighing targeted steps such as hitting vessels in Russia's shadow fleet of tankers and traders who facilitate oil transactions, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent briefing European allies and ambassadors this past week.
- This week could bring an announcement, with U.S. officials saying the final decision rests with President Donald Trump, who pushes for a U.S.-brokered deal by Christmas.
- Targeting energy exports could deepen strain on Russia's oil-dependent economy, as past sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil disrupted trade flows and Moscow has reacted furiously while European leaders consider tapping frozen Russian central bank assets.
