Moreover, Russia’s Rosneft company will work with Venezuela and expand the energy sector cooperation, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said Thursday.

"This is a country with the best hydrocarbon reserves in the world, and every oil and gas company should seek to work in this country from this point of view … As I said, we will never leave.

The new US sanctions boost restrictive measures against Russia, particularly against the Russian energy industry. The new restrictions also counteract the construction of Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as the United States believes the project threatens the energy security of Ukraine and the European Union.
