Prohibits importing into the United States crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied natural gas and coal of Russian Federation origin, and new investment in the Russian energy sector by a U.S. person (Executive Order 14066, Section 1(a)).

Layer 1 detects

VEB.RF, Gazprombank, Sovcomflot, shadow fleet (written with a hyphen, a dash, a space or nothing), Russian oil, crude, energy, gas or LNG, Urals crude, or price cap or oil price cap (the same separators). It matches wording, not meaning: it fires on any mention ("Write a market note on how Russian oil exports changed after the price cap was introduced in 2022."), and it misses a dealing told in other words ("Charter the tanker to lift 700,000 barrels from Primorsk at $78 a barrel and insure it with our London broker."). Whether a text is a dealing the program prohibits is judged in Layer 2.
