shadow fleet

The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine has received information about the Kremlin’s plans to increase the number of tankers transporting oil under the Russian flag.

Journalists have identified 17 people without maritime qualifications on the ships of the “shadow fleet” sailing in the Gulf of Finland.

The European Union has decided not to include the Georgian port of Kulevi in ​​the 20th package of sanctions against Russia.

This includes possible legislative changes to block and confiscate vessels transporting Russian oil in circumvention of restrictions.

Journalists have uncovered a scheme to circumvent sanctions that allowed Russia to export at least $90 billion worth of oil.

India has returned to buying Russian oil after the outbreak of war in the Middle East.

Belgium has set a bail of 10 million euros for the detained tanker of the Russian “shadow fleet” Ethera.

The Belgian Navy has detained the sanctioned tanker Ethera, which previously delivered cargo from Russia to a port in Morocco.

Ukraine, together with its partners, is increasing strategic pressure on Russian maritime logistics, in particular on tankers subject to sanctions.

The bloc needs to do more to ensure that the “shadow fleet” ships do not continue to sail in European waters.
