UK Targets Putin's Allies and Oil Transporters
The UK government has imposed sanctions on supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin linked to Georgia, as a strategic move to undermine Russia's global network. Additionally, two oil tankers transporting Russian oil to Batumi have been banned from British ports and the UK Ship Register.
The United Kingdom has intensified its sanctions on Friday, targeting supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin, particularly those with ties to Georgia. This strategic move aims to disrupt the extensive international network backing Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The British government revealed that besides individuals, two oil tankers have also been sanctioned. These ships were responsible for transporting Russian oil to the Georgian port of Batumi. The new sanctions include restrictions that bar these vessels from docking at British ports.
In addition, the UK Ship Register will now deny access to these tankers, reinforcing the nation's stance against Russia's activities in the region. This decision underscores the UK's commitment to applying international pressure on Moscow by targeting its allies and logistical operations.
