Also, two Russian vessels were removed from the sanctions lists - "Gennady Yegorov" and "Vyacheslav Arshinov". These are multi-purpose dry cargo ships associated with the Russian state transport leasing company.

The temporary easing of U.S. sanctions on Russian oil exports allowed Moscow to receive over $2 billion in additional revenue in just a few months.
