The European Union and the United Kingdom have announced a major new wave of sanctions targeting Russia's so-called 'shadow fleet'—a network of ships used to secretly transport oil and gas in violation of existing embargoes. These measures are part of a broader effort to undermine Russia's ability to finance its war in Ukraine, with the EU now sanctioning nearly 350 vessels. The latest sanctions packages also include actions against Russia's military, energy exports, and disinformation campaigns. Additional measures address concerns over chemical weapons, human rights abuses, and hybrid threats. The coordinated move signals a renewed commitment by Western allies to increase economic pressure on Moscow.
