US Treasury Dept on Thursday announced they will add Russia\'s third largest bank to sanctions list. Gazprombank is a lender incorporated to the giant natural gas exporter. There were 50 other Russian financial institutions added to the sanctions list. The move is a means to severely limit their use of the international financial system. However, while the EU was notified, they will not participate in the sanctions plan.
