Written question – Placing Russian multinational energy corporation Lukoil under EU sanctions – E-002565/2025

Question for written answer  E-002565/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mika Aaltola (PPE)

Lukoil’s operations in Europe are continuing because it is not directly subject to EU sanctions. This is due to the company’s being privately owned, the energy dependence of some EU countries, and political disagreements between Member States. However, the EU has begun to impose sanctions on Lukoil’s subsidiaries and business partners, suggesting that the company’s operations in Europe may face further restrictions in the future.

Does the Commission have plans to place Lukoil directly under EU sanctions in order to prevent it from supporting Russia’s war industry?
