On 15 Oct 2025, the UK imposed sanctions on 90 entities linked to the Russian energy sector, including Rosneft and Lukoil. This move aims to disrupt funding for Russia's war in Ukraine. Notably, Nayara Energy Ltd is affected, having imported 100 million barrels of Russian crude oil worth over $5 billion in 2024.
These sanctions may impact trading strategies for firms involved in energy and refining sectors, potentially leading to increased volatility in oil prices.
