This move is in line with measures recently taken by the UK, Canada, Japan and New Zealand as part of the 18th package of sanctions against Russia.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Reducing the marginal price is another step towards depriving the Russian military economy of super-profits from energy,&#8221; the Australian Foreign Ministry stressed.<\/p>\n<p> In addition, Australia is expanding the list of sanctions against Russian vessels. Another 95 tankers have been added to the list of restrictions, which are part of the &#8220;shadow fleet&#8221; engaged in illegal supplies of energy resources to circumvent sanctions. In total, 150 Russian vessels are now under Canberra&#8217;s sanctions.<\/p>\n<p> Similar restrictions have previously been introduced by the G7 countries and the European Union, with the aim of limiting Russia&#8217;s ability to finance a full-scale war against Ukraine through oil exports.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, on Friday, September 12, <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/uriad-velykoi-brytanii-zaprovadyv-novi-sanktsii-proty-rf\/\">the UK government announced another expansion of sanctions against Russia.<\/a> The updated list added 30 new names and organizations, and introduced 70 new restrictions.<\/p>\n<p> As reported, Donald Trump agreed with the European Union&#8217;s position on <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/yevropa-perekonala-trampa-posylyty-sanktsii-proty-rosii\/\">the need to put pressure on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin &#8211; the West must force the Kremlin to sit at the negotiating table.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia has joined a new wave of sanctions against Russia, lowering the price ceiling on Russian oil exports and expanding restrictions against the so-called &#8220;shadow fleet&#8221;.
