Accelerate LNG exports and cut Russia's energy revenue
Russia funds its war largely through energy exports. We support U.S. policies that accelerate LNG export approvals to Europe, invest in European energy infrastructure, and impose full energy sanctions on Russia, eliminating the last major revenue stream sustaining the war.
Ask your representatives to support expedited LNG export approvals and full energy sanctions on Russia, including a ban on Russian LNG imports.
Energy revenue is Russia's primary war funding mechanism. Every barrel of oil or cubic meter of gas sold funds the next missile strike.
The Biden administration paused new LNG export approvals in early 2024. Europe has significantly reduced Russian gas imports but has not eliminated them. The American Energy Independence Act is advancing in the House.
Imposes targeted sanctions on Russia's so-called 'shadow fleet', the network of tankers and shipping companies that covertly transport Russian oil in violation of Western price caps and sanctions. Targets vessel owners, operators, insurers, and port operators who facilitate shadow fleet operations.
Imposes sweeping sanctions and other measures on Russia if the Russian Federation refuses to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine in good faith. Includes energy import bans, financial sanctions, and secondary sanctions on countries that continue to trade with Russia.
Passed the House and now awaiting a Senate vote. Accelerates U.S. LNG export capacity to cut Europe's dependence on Russian gas, directly defunding the energy revenue that finances Russia's war machine. Urge your senators to bring it to the floor.
Creates the legal mechanism to seize Russia's $300 billion in frozen sovereign assets and transfer them to Ukraine for reconstruction, making Russia pay for the damage it caused rather than U.S. taxpayers. Amends the REPO Act to close implementation gaps.

Closes the loophole that allows Russian oil to enter the U.S. market after being refined or blended in third countries such as India, Turkey, and China. Requires country-of-origin tracking for all petroleum products and bans imports that contain Russian-origin crude oil.
Imposes sanctions on foreign persons dealing in crude oil or petroleum products of Russian Federation origin. Targets third-country buyers, refiners, and shippers who purchase Russian oil above the G7 price cap, cutting off Russia's primary source of war revenue.
Senate companion to H.R. 7506. Imposes secondary sanctions on foreign entities that purchase Russian crude oil or petroleum products above the G7 price cap. Strengthens enforcement of existing oil price caps and closes loopholes exploited by Russia's shadow fleet.
