The UK carveout explicitly authorizes LNG maritime transport to Japan, preserving LNG availability despite the Russia sanctions.
“The General Trade Licence for the maritime transport of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to Japan authorises UK businesses to carry out certain activities prohibited under Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (‘the Russia Regulations’)”

97% confidenceCited →Freeport LNG Development LP →Prices riseRussian sanctions can tighten broader gas balances and lift LNG/feedgas costs, so Freeport's natural-gas input is more likely to get more expensive than scarce; the Japan/South Korea LNG exemption limits the size of the hit.

Natural Gas (Roasting Fuel) →Shortage riskRussia accounts for 16% of this natural-gas supply mix, and the new sanctions are likely to constrain or slow Russian exports despite the LNG exemption for Japan and South Korea.

Russia →Shortage riskPGM Sulfide Ore — Russian Arctic (Norilsk/Taimyr)
Russia is the sole source here (100% country share), so sanctions can directly tighten PGM sulfide ore supply.
98% confidenceRussia →Shortage riskVisa says it suspended Russia operations because of sanctions and is no longer generating Russia revenue, so tighter sanctions keep that revenue stream absent.

UAN Solution (Urea Ammonium Nitrate, 28-32% N) →Shortage riskRussia accounts for 53.8% of UAN Solution's country input share, so sanctions that constrain Russian exports should materially tighten this source of supply.

Because this ore is the 100%-share, sole-qualified input for Nornickel with a very long replacement lead time, sanctions on Russia can make the feedstock scarce for GMKN.
