Concurrent with new designations, OFAC issued Russia-related General License 8K, authorizing certain energy-related transactions. This GL replaces GL 8J and authorizes transactions ordinarily incident and necessary to the extraction, production, refining, or transport of oil or gas in Russia, including with specific sanctioned financial institutions. The license is valid through October 12, 2026, providing a structured wind-down period for specified energy operations while maintaining pressure on the Kremlin's revenue streams from other sectors.
