"I also instructed the Foreign Intelligence Service to provide partners with new information regarding Russia's attempts to expand its tanker fleet."
"Due to our coordinated pressure measures - together with a number of states - against the shadow fleet, at least 20 percent of its vessels have been halted, and Russia is now trying to compensate for this loss by bringing in new tankers. All of them must be added to sanctions lists."
"the current restrictions on Russia's maritime oil exports are expected to curb Russia's annual revenues by at least $30 billion."
"Additional pressure will certainly increase this amount of Russian losses and therefore reduce the financing of Russia's war. We will also inform our partners about new schemes used by Chinese companies to help Russia circumvent sanctions against the financial sector,"
Intelligence indicates Vladimir Putin is attempting to expand Russia's sanctioned oil tanker shadow fleet. President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the Foreign Intelligence Service to share new information with partners about these efforts. Coordinated pressure with multiple states has halted at least 20 percent of the shadow fleet, prompting Russia to bring in replacement tankers that should be added to sanctions lists. Current restrictions on maritime oil exports are expected to reduce Russia's annual revenues by at least $30 billion, and additional measures should further decrease funding for the war. British Special Boats Service forces are likely to lead missions against shadow fleet tankers in UK waters, and European partners show willingness for joint action despite complexity.
