The European Union has adopted the 15th package of sanctions due to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Biden has previously refrained from tightening sanctions over concerns that it would raise fuel prices in the US, especially during the election period.

The permanent representatives of the European Union countries will soon consider the 15th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation.

The President of Ukraine reacted to the introduction of the next sanctions by the United Kingdom against the vessels of the so-called shadow fleet of Russia.

Russian tankers that have been hit by new British sanctions have transported billions of pounds worth of oil and petroleum products over the past year.

In the South China Sea, 60 km off the coast of Malaysia, is the world’s largest “shadow” oil transshipment center.

The European Union is developing a new sanctions package aimed at combating the so-called “shadow fleet” of tankers.

Russian fuel is mainly transported by shipowners from Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Greece and Turkey.

The British government has announced that it will detain tankers that pass through the English Channel and have “questionable insurance”.

The newly established company in Dubai acquired three LNG tankers that were previously under Russian management.
