The UK has imposed sanctions on 10 vessels belonging to Russia's 'shadow fleet,' a group of ships accused of using illicit practices to circumvent Western sanctions on Russian oil.
These sanctions are part of a broader effort to tighten the noose on Russia's ability to export oil without facing the consequences of international sanctions. The move highlights growing concerns over the shadow fleet's operations, including risks of oil spills, as Russian tankers navigating through Denmark's straits are increasingly refusing pilot services. This defiance increases the risk of environmental disasters off the Danish coast.
Additionally, the UK has extended sanctions to include the Russian Aerospace Forces and the State Centre for Unmanned Aviation, along with seven legal entities and individuals from Iran, for their alleged support in assisting Russia.
