📝 Summary

The United States decided not to renew the 8L license, which allowed to pay for Russian energy, because of the position of the United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, according to Bloomberg.

Journalists recalled that earlier the head of the Ministry of Finance threatened to strengthen sanctions against Russia. In particular, he said that US President Donald Trump will not hesitate to impose strict restrictions against Russia if it is necessary to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. On March 13, American media reported that Trump did not renew the 8L license, which expired on March 12. This document allowed the Western financial system to conduct transactions to purchase and sell Russian resources. At the same time, Fox Business journalist Edward Lawrence wrote that now neither European countries nor US allies will be able to buy oil from Russia. Also on March 13, Bloomberg wrote that Turkey will ask the United States to extend the exemption from sanctions for Gazprombank so that Ankara can pay for gas from Russia.
