Britain's Bold Sanction: Targeting Russia's Shadow Fleet
Britain is poised to sanction up to 100 Russian oil tankers, part of the 'shadow fleet', as part of its most extensive measures against Russia amid the Ukraine conflict. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will announce the sanctions at the Joint Expeditionary Force summit in Norway, emphasizing security and economic resilience.
In a decisive move against Russia, Britain is set to impose sanctions on up to 100 oil tankers, commonly referred to as the 'shadow fleet'. The actions aim to intensify pressure on Moscow amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office announced that the sanctions represent Britain's most significant crackdown on the shadow fleet, which has allegedly been involved in infrastructural sabotage. These measures will be unveiled at the Joint Expeditionary Force summit in Oslo.
The targeted fleet, responsible for transporting oil worth over $24 billion, poses risks to European undersea infrastructure. The Joint Expeditionary Force consists of 10 northern European nations advocating for Ukraine's security and the stability of Europe's energy supplies.
