This is not the only restriction being applied against Russia, also yestarday a new law was passed which restricts U.S. missile defense disclosures to them as well, while the first European Antimissile Command was formally established the same day. Light sanctions possibly?

The Department of Energy has backed off a $730 million conditional loan guarantee to a Russian company for a steel plant in Michigan, after Republicans complained about the proposed arrangement.

The Obama administration did not offer a specific reason for discontinuing federal support for Russian firm Severstal. Energy Department spokesman Damien LaVera said only that officials reached the decision after a review of the application.
