🔥 The UK gov has identified a legal basis to allow UK forces to board and detain vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet. We welcome this commitment. We also call for sanctions on LNG tankers shipping Russian gas and for secondary sanctions on refineries in India and China that process Russian crude oil.

Shockingly, the UK has allowed its world-leading insurance sector to facilitate nearly half of all Russian refined oil exports, according to @creacleanair.bsky.social. Now, the G7 and EU are considering a FULL BAN on Western maritime services for Russian oil shipments, potentially from early 2026.

Russia’s Arctic LNG exports remain heavily dependent on access to EU ports. This must end. The EU must close the Yamal loophole now. The EU and UK must also ensure that the Arc7 fleet doesn't fall into the wrong hands at the end of the year, propping up Yamal and keeping it alive. bit.ly/3N9YFbb

According to ESCU, in 2024, Russia imported over $60M worth of aircraft tires and tire-production materials from China. These components are critical for Su-34 and Su-35S jets used in war crimes in Ukraine. Yet, only 1/9 firms supplying tires to Russia is currently under US sanctions. bit.ly/3YCoP8U
