Vlasiuk names countries that could face tariffs after Russia sanctions bill is signed

Ukraine's Presidential Commissioner for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk said this in a comment to Ukrinform. "After the U.S. president signs the 'hellish sanctions' bill into law, the key issue will be moving to its practical implementation. The document covers a broad range of sanctions areas. First and foremost, this is energy. The bill provides for tariffs of up to 100% on all imports from countries that remain among the five largest buyers of Russian crude oil and natural gas or facilitate the circumvention of energy sanctions," he said. According to him, during the first eight months of 2026, China imported 585 million barrels of crude oil from Russia, India 453 million barrels, and Turkey 44 million barrels.
