The U.S. executive order in December did not explicitly target energy, but it complicated some of Turkey's payments to Russia**, as well as Russia's payments to broader Turkish exports, the sources said.
U.S. sanctions are designed to reduce the Kremlin's revenues and disrupt its war in Ukraine, without stifling the flow of Russian oil to global markets to avoid politically sensitive U.S. gasoline
