The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, introduced in both the US Senate and the House of Representatives in April 2025, is currently in committee. Its enactment is far from certain and depends on negotiations toward peace between Russia and Ukraine. Were it to pass, the impact on Russia would be crippling because of the country’s reliance on exports of energy and related products.

The bill includes, among other provisions, asset freezes, sanctions on Russian financial institutions, and massive tariff increases that would apply not only to direct imports but also, secondarily, to imports into the US from countries that knowingly buy, sell or transfer Russian-origin energy and petrochemical products.

Below are Russia’s exports of key products in 2024 and leading importers. Totals are understated because the data is derived from trading partner import statistics, and not from official Russian government figures, which are incomplete.
