The Jaguar, a massive tanker, represents a Russian oil transport strategy involving shadowy ownership and strategic flag changes to evade Western authorities amidst ongoing sanctions.
The vessel's journey underscores a broader tactic employed by Russia, shifting between flags to obscure ownership and navigate around increasing international pressure on its oil sector.
With each act of paperwork, Russian tankers like the Jaguar can escape the reach of Western financial authorities, highlighting a persistent game of cat-and-mouse that has evolved since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
As Western nations freeze and seize Russian assets, Putin adapts by creating layers of complexity in shipping routes, making it increasingly difficult for authorities to track down valuable oil shipments.
