Britain Sanctions Russia’s ‘Shadow Fleet’ in Oil Trade Crackdown

Britain has targeted 10 vessels in Russia's 'shadow fleet' involved in circumventing Western embargoes on Russian oil. According to Foreign Minister David Lammy, these sanctions aim to disrupt Russia's oil trading capabilities and signal international support for Ukraine.

Britain has imposed sanctions on 10 ships identified as part of Russia's 'shadow fleet,' which allegedly engage in illicit practices to bypass Western embargoes on Russian oil.

'Today’s sanctions further undermine Russia’s ability to trade in oil via its shadow fleet,' British Foreign Minister David Lammy stated on Wednesday.

'Alongside our partners, we will continue to send a stark message to Russia that the international community stands with Ukraine and we will not tolerate this illicit fleet,' he added.
