The White House considers the possibility of a new blow to Russia’s exporting oil in case Russia refuses.
The United States may impose additional sanctions against the Russian shadow fleet if, on August 8, Russia’s dictator Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop fire in Ukraine. On Tuesday, August 5, the Financial Times reported that there was a reference to resources familiar with related discussions in the White House.
According to the two of them, the application of new penalties against the “oil armpit” may be the first simple step for imposing Moscow costs. The third interlocutor noted that the other options are considered.
According to the publication, the introduction of Russian shadow fleet ships to the list of penalties is the first step of the new administration to introduce new restrictions against Moscow.
Even under the supervision of Joe Biden, 213 tankers were added to the list of penalties, used to carry oil, chemicals and oil products. At the same time, Trump has been restrained from the introduction of new restrictions against the Russian Federation, hoping to come up with a diplomatic way.
It is expected that further US penalties about the Shadow Fleet will complement the recent European Union actions, which last month introduced restrictions to more than 100 vessels – their total number reached 415, Kevin Buk said, director’s director of Clearview Energy Partners.
Remember that on Tuesday in the US State Department they said Trump was unhappy with Putin and Russia, but “he remains focused on diplomatic decisions.”
Also today, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky conducted a conversation with US President Donald Trump on the eve of the deadline for Russia and called him “productive.” The leaders coordinated positions of Ukraine and the United States and exchanged situation assessments. One of the topics of negotiations is sanctions against Russia. The President of Ukraine praised Trump for his discretion and pointed out the Russian economy’s collapse.
