US President Joe Biden announced sanctions against several Russian individuals, companies, and financial institutions, including Transneft.

[18][19] In March 2022, as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the EU imposed sanctions on Transneft.

The papers, published on 16 November 2010, contain information regarding multiple economic crimes committed by Transeft employees including Semyon Vainshtok, its daughter structures and contractors in the construction of the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean oil pipeline.

Navalny posted an audit indicating that the contracting fraud had cost Transneft US$4 billion.

Both Transneft and the government auditing office, whose documents Navalny said he leaked on his site, denied the corruption claim.
