Britain has imposed new sanctions against Russia, targeting its shadow oil fleet and suppliers of military technology.
The British government said on its website.
The new restrictions primarily target the so-called shadow fleet of Russian tankers that transport oil in violation of sanctions. This time, 70 vessels have been hit by the sanctions, more than any other country has ever blocked.
In addition, 30 companies and individuals that supply Russia with key components for weapons production, from electronics and chemicals to explosives, have been hit. These include China’s Shenzhen Blue Hat International Trade Co., Ltd. and its Russian co-owners, as well as Turkey’s Mastel Makina and its CEO. Their products are used in the production of Russian Iskander and Kh-101 missiles and drones.
USM previously reported that Japan lowered the price cap for Russian oil to $47.60 per barrel.
