The UK has prepared “the largest package of historical penalties” against the Russian shadow fleet.
British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer on Friday, May 9, will announce a large penalty package against Russian fleet-tankers used to miss oil trade restrictions. This is reported on the British government website.
It has been mentioned “the largest package of historical penalties, which will increase pressure in Putin and protect the critical important national infrastructure of Great Britain and Europe.”
The new penalties will affect 100 ships, which from the beginning of 2024 have brought Russian oil to over $ 24 billion.
The purpose of the new steps is to stop the Kremlin funding of the aggressive war against Ukraine, to strengthen the safety of the critical infrastructure of Great Britain and Europe, as well as protect the environment.
“Every step we take to strengthen pressure in Russia and achieve a fair and sustainable world in Ukraine is another step towards the security and prosperity of Great Britain,” Starmer said.
According to him, the threat to Britain’s national security from Russia cannot be enderestimated. “That is why we will do everything we can to our power, to destroy the” shadow of the armada “, to remove a military machine of oil revenues and to protect the submissive infrastructure, which relies on sunny life,” the government leader emphasized.
The report suggests that shadow fleet activities, which engage in the Putin environment, not only the war in Ukraine, but also brings a direct threat to the critical infrastructure of northern Europe, especially due to accidents or planned incidents.
According to London, from the moment of the introduction of western penalties in 2022, the Russian Federation’s income from oil and gas fell more than a third. The Russian welfare fund has reduced, inflation increases, and the costs of the Kremlin for defense have reached a record level.
Earlier it was reported that Russia led the 76 tankers by the water of NATO countries for fake insurance.
