Ukraine has imposed sanctions against a number of Russian shadow fleet tankers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the press service of the President’s Office.<\/p>\n

Thus, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree that puts into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on the application of sanctions against 91 naval vessels.<\/p>\n

It is noted that the Russian Federation used these vessels to transport oil and petroleum products from Russian ports, in particular in Novorossiysk, Ust-Luz and Primorsk, to third countries. This was done in circumvention of sanctions by the European Union, G7 and other states. This is evidenced by the results of monitoring in the Black, Red and Baltic Seas.<\/p>\n

The sanctioned vessels sailed under the flags of about 20 countries. Among them, only one was Russian, and the rest were the flags of Panama, Liberia, Cameroon, Barbados, Marshall Islands, Hong Kong, Sierra Leone, Tonga, Palau, Guinea, Comoros, Bahamas, Indonesia, Malawi, Guinea-Bissau, Djibouti, Guyana, and Eswatini.<\/p>\n

“Ukraine will provide relevant information to these states, and will also work with partners to further synchronize sanctions in their jurisdictions. Twenty-seven vessels from this list are already under sanctions by partners: the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Union. Work on imposing sanctions on the remaining 64 will continue,” the post says.<\/p>\n

Imposing sanctions on the shadow fleet is a priority, as it allows us to put pressure on everyone who transports Russian oil and thus helps Russia obtain funds to finance its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n

“Shadow fleet tankers are a key tool for circumventing oil sanctions, so their identification and the imposition of sanctions against them must be carried out quickly and without exceptions. Each such vessel must be considered as an element of financing the Russian military machine,” said Vladyslav Vlasyuk, Advisor to the President on Sanctions Policy.<\/p>\n

Recall that Greece and Malta became the main obstacle to the European Union’s proposal<\/a> to replace price restrictions on Russian oil with a ban on services necessary for fuel transportation.<\/p>\n
