Kremlin says new U.S. sanctions are attempt to hinder Russian gas exports
MOSCOW, Nov 22 (Reuters) -The Kremlin on Friday said that new U.S. sanctions on Gazprombank were an attempt by Washington to hinder the export of Russian gas and that a solution would be found.
Washington imposed new sanctions on Gazprombank on Thursday that prevent the lender from handling any new energy-related transactions that touch the U.S. financial system, bans its trade with Americans and freezes its U.S. assets.
Gazprombank is one of Russia's largest banks and is partially owned by Kremlin-owned gas company Gazprom GAZP.MM. Ukraine has been urging the U.S. to impose more sanctions on the bank, which receives payments for natural gas from Gazprom's customers in Europe.
