From Trump Administration Waives Sanctions on Russian Oil, Secures Diesel Supply

How could the sanctions package affect Gazprombank's operations and funding?

Likely What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Sanctions on Russian banks could restrict Gazprombank's operations and funding. The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which was approved by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump, introduces a broad package of sanctions against Russian officials and banks. This law mandates that the administration apply new restrictions on the Central Bank and sanctions against Gazprombank and other state-controlled institutions within 30 days. These measures are designed to reduce the resources available to Moscow and increase the cost for those who continue to buy Russian energy.

How it reaches Gazprombank

Reported by news outlets

Tap any step to see the evidence behind it.

The facts so far

As reported. Each one links to where it comes from.

  • The law introduces a broad package of sanctions against Russian officials, banks and a clandestine fleet of oil tankers.
  • The law requires the administration to apply new restrictions on the Central Bank and sanctions against Gazprombank within 30 days.
  • The House of Representatives passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 by a vote of 262-159.
  • Washington will be able to hit tariffs of up to 100 percent on all goods coming from the five largest countries that purchase Russian oil or gas.

Why it matters

For Gazprombank, which is a state-controlled institution, these sanctions represent a direct threat to its operational capacity and financial stability. The restrictions on Russian banks and the Central Bank could severely limit the bank's ability to transfer money, secure funding, or conduct international business, thereby reducing its revenue and market access.

This legislation is part of a wider strategy by the US to isolate Moscow economically, aiming to put Russia's large energy customers before an economic choice: reduce purchases from Russia or risk sharp increases in duties on the American market. The sanctions are designed to increase the cost for those who continue to buy Russian energy and disrupt the entire financial and maritime network that allows Moscow to transform it into revenue.

What we don't know yet

  • Will the administration grant exemptions to Gazprombank or other Russian banks?
  • How will the new restrictions on the Central Bank affect the liquidity of Russian banks?
