US unveils new sanctions on Russian oil giants

President Donald Trump’s administration unveiled “massive sanctions” on Russia’s oil sector, targeting Rosneft and Lukoil to push Vladimir Putin toward talks and end the war in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the move a bid to choke off “the Kremlin’s war machine” and urged allies to join; Trump said both Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy must be “reasonable.” The announcement coincided with NATO chief Mark Rutte’s visit to Washington and fresh Russian strikes that killed at least six people, including a mother and her two daughters, as Kyiv pressed for tougher sanctions and long‑range capabilities.
