End Russian Oil Windfalls Act
This bill prohibits the sale and delivery of Russian crude oil and petroleum products that were loaded onto vessels after March 5, 2026, and bans future Treasury licenses for such transactions. It requires the President to impose sanctions within 30 days on Russian individuals and entities involved in oil and gas extraction, refinement, or maritime transportation, including blocking their U.S.-based assets and revoking their U.S. visas. The legislation includes exceptions for humanitarian goods like food and medicine, as well as intelligence and national security activities. Additionally, the bill mandates regular reports to Congress on Russian oil export volumes, revenues, and any involvement of Russian energy companies in the abduction of Ukrainian children.
