EU proposes sanctioning 120 more Russian tankers

rbc.ua (Ukrainian)

The EU plans to sanction approximately 120 more Russian "shadow fleet" tankers as part of its 19th sanctions package. These tankers avoid EU ports and services, making current sanctions less effective. However, international law allows for the interception of stateless vessels. The EU hopes to increase the number of shadow fleet vessels it can stop, as these ships currently operate with limited impact, transporting Russian oil to Asia.
