Limiting US Financial Transactions with Russia in Energy Sector

This act aims to restrict U.S. financial institutions from engaging in transactions related to the Russian energy sector. This means less U.S. money will flow to Russia, potentially impacting global energy market stability and fuel prices, though the direct impact on daily finances of U.S. citizens is hard to predict.
Key points
U.S. financial institutions will be prohibited from authorizing or continuing certain transactions related to Russian energy.
A temporary waiver (up to 90 days) is possible if funds are used for the sale of agricultural commodities, food, medicine, or medical devices.
These restrictions will expire after 5 years or sooner if Russia ceases its destabilizing activities in Ukraine.
