The Trump administration is imposing tougher restrictions on Russia’s oil, gas, and banking sectors by further limiting Russia’s access to American payment systems.
That is according to CBS News, citing internal sources,Ukrinform reports.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department revoked a 60-day exemption introduced by the Biden administration in January, which allowed certain energy transactions involving sanctioned Russian banks to continue. From now on, Russian banks will no longer have access to U.S. payment systems for large energy transactions.
The Russian financial institutions that had been exempt from sanctions included Vnesheconombank, Bank Financial Corporation Otkritie, Sovcombank, Sberbank, VTB Bank, Alfa-Bank, Rosbank, Bank Zenit, Bank Saint-Petersburg and the Central Bank of Russia.
Cutting off Russian banks from the U.S. financial system makes it hardert for other countries to purchase Russian oil, thereby reducing Russia’s global oil supply.

The tougher sanctions are part of Trump’s strategy to pressure Russia into accepting the proposed 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine.
As reported by Ukrinform, on Thursday, Trump stated that U.S. officials are meeting with “President Putin and others” for very serious discussions.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
