Russia

The European Commission has presented to the EU member states a draft of the 17th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, which includes restrictions on vessels associated with the so-called shadow fleet.

Over the past three years, Russia has spent $14 billion on the purchase of just over 400 tankers for its so-called “shadow fleet.”

Restrictions are being prepared against 150 tankers that help the Kremlin circumvent restrictions and continue to finance the war.

France has not allowed a three-masted Russian sailboat to stop in Le Havre. The public has recalled that the vessel regularly violates EU sanctions.

A large landing ship of the Russian fleet is moored in the Sevastopol Bay in Crimea.

The European naval mission Irini, which was supposed to prevent the supply of weapons to Libya, turned out to be unable to stop illegal shipments from Russia.

A vessel under US sanctions loaded coke in the occupied port of Mariupol. The coal was likely mined and stolen in Donetsk or Luhansk regions.

Russian oil exports rose for the second week in a row, with oil flows from all Russian ports rising to 3.26 million barrels per day.

The ship, which regularly transported Russian military equipment from the Syrian port after the fall of the Assad regime, was spotted again near Tartus.

The only Russian submarine present in the Mediterranean Sea is returning to the Baltic Fleet.
