The largest package of sanctions in history against the shadow fleet of Russia was represented by the United Kingdom.
On Friday, May 9, British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer announced the largest package of sanctions aimed at the Russian shadow fleet. They belong to 100 oil tankers, which make up the main part of the shadow fleet of the Russian Federation and from the beginning of 2024, more than $ 24 billion have been transported. The elders reported this on the social network X.
The threat that Russia is intended for our national security cannot be underestimated. To increase the pressure on Putin, I announce the largest package of sanctions for today – the message says.
The British government noted that the shadow fleet not only finances the Russian war against Ukraine. In addition, these poor state courts are harmful to a critical national infrastructure from “reckless navigation in Europe”.
Recall that on April 24, the United Kingdom approved a package, which includes 150 new trade sanctions against the country of aggressor. In particular, the British banned export to Russian game console controllers. These gadgets are used by invaders to manage drones on the front line in Ukraine.
