European countries are trying to make it harder for Russia to make money from its oil resources.
European countries are planning to tighten inspections of Russian oil tankers as part of Russia’s fight to avoid international sanctions. Bloomberg wrote this on Monday, July 15.
It is indicated that an “unspecified number” of European governments must approve the plan on the sidelines of a meeting of the European Political Community, which Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host in the UK on Thursday, July 18.
They intend to exchange information about the Russian fleet, and agree on “coordination and responses to threats posed by Russian ships.”
It is expected that experts from different countries will create a separate group and “take concrete steps.”
“Russia’s shadow fleet poses a threat to our countries and others who rely on the world’s seas and oceans. Many of these shadow fleet ships are uninsured and poorly maintained. Many of them engages in activities that violate its basic safety standards and “environmental protection,” the document explains.
In addition, according to one of the publication’s interlocutors, who spoke on condition of anonymity, sanctions may be introduced against more Russian “shadow fleet” vehicles.
Russia, amid Western sanctions, has assembled a shadow fleet to transport its oil around the world, and now there is growing evidence that Moscow has begun doing the same with liquefied natural gas.
Earlier we wrote that the Indian company Reliance refused to supply Russian oil to Sovcomflot tankers.
