Russia’s shadow fleet remains its cash lifeline.
We are cutting it.
Today we sanctioned several individuals linked to Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as 40 additional vessels.
We will also sanction shadow fleet vessels on a rolling basis, with decisions every month.

Valentyna Zayarna is facing a huge sentence for giving shelter to a Ukrainian defender, for trying to pick up a parcel for him and, probably, because Denys Storozhuk is safely out of Russia’s reach
